Take note, Atheists: If you claim to know that God does not exist then you need to be able to prove it.
If you assert that you know that the god of the Bible doesn't exist then the burden of proof is on you to demonstrate your claim. So before you shoot your mouth off with bold assertions in that area...make sure you can back it up.

I think sometimes atheists forget that a burden of proof can work both ways. Certainly if the atheist is just saying "Convince me your god is real" then they don't have a burden of proof but if they say "I know your god is not real" then of course they do.
@Pikachu I've never heard an atheist say, "convince me your god is real." However it was one of the projects of the Catholic Church. The Pope started universities of the Middles Ages by commissioning philosopher-monks to prove by logic that God existed. Not one, over the centuries, was able to find an argument that proved sound; some other philosopher always found a flaw in the premises or reasoning. Eventually the Church announced that the whole point of faith was to believe in something unprovable.
