I'll restate my main point again: what I stated was less of an argument for God, but more of an argument against God detractors who like to think that they're basing a disbelief in God on solid proof. There is no proof that God doesn't exist. There's no proof that Batman doesn't exist, either. The reason we're not discussing Batman is that there isn't an extremely large group of people claiming to have seen him on multiple occasions. That is the critical difference.
Personal claims regardless of how big the number, which cannot be backed up in any meaningful way are useless. Atheists do not require anysort of "Proof that God DOESNT exist". For something as grandiose and with such far reaching consequences as a god we MUST have proper EVIDENCE to believe that it or they even exist in the first place, plain and simple, it just is not something we can simply put our "faith" in.
