1) I did not say God does not exist. My belief in God is simply different from the sense in which it seems to be implied here (primarily Judaeo-Christian).
2) How does one prove the absence of something? In relation to something else.
My only point-of-reference is my experience, reason and knowledge. My reason has a funny way of not believing anything I have no proof for. Unless I am presented with a compelling proof for the presence of something, my default view is that of something being absent. This is a normal and logical way of thinking. I have no "burden of proof". I don't need to prove something for which I have not been presented one shred of convincing (in my view) proof.
Before you place the "burden on proof" on anyone, please establish the reason why we should presume that presence, rather than absence of God, should be viewed as the default/unmarked position to a logical mind.
The way in which you are evading the discussion and refusing to answer counter-questions is not productive.
