I do know that cats are positive that they are god, and have convinced their pets that this is so.
But can Athiests prove that G-d does not exist?

Yes.
Send 999 installments of $5,000,000,000, and you can too.
If you act now, and are caller 666, I'll knock off 0.99.
Hurry.

There is no need.
Atheism is *a response* to theistic claims.
Fundamentally, atheists don't claim that gods do not exist. Because we are not making a claim, we have no burden of proof.
Theists claim that gods *do* exist, and thus have a burden of proof to demonstrate that they do.
All atheists simply lack belief in gods, i.e. we're not buying the theistic claims that they do.
"I don't believe you...prove it."
BTW, you do not capitalize "atheist", unless it's the first word in a sentence.
Disappointing theists since 1968!

Thank you! That was wonderfully clear.

I appreciate that.

That seems to be a rather concise list, for a moron.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
