About as much as you can prove you're not the devil.

As an atheist, I would contend that God doesn't exist, and since you (apparently) exist, you're not God.

There, I did it.

Your contentions about God have absolutely no bearing on the fact of whether God exists or not. In order for your contribution to be useful, you would have to prove your 1st premis ("God doesn't exist") which of course, leaves you in exactly the same place you started from.

It was a real struggle for me to pick my first bike. How about you?

If you were God, you would already know the answer to that question and therefore, would not need to ask it.

The burden of evidence is on the claimant, not the skeptic. You make a claim, you back it up. This is how science works.

Therefore you have arrived at EPIC FAIL before even getting started.

Need to learn the rules of debate and evidence before posting on the internet, junior. Because here be people that can, and so far have, utterly crushed that argument with nothing more than high school debate club rules.

Recycle that FAIL, it's the green thing to do

I'm not the one making the positive claim, so I suppose the answer is no, no one other than God himself can prove that you are not God. Given God's supposed powers, it should be very easy for you to prove you are God, if that is in fact the case. So until you do so, we are left with the following possibilities:

A - You are not God
B - You are God, but are willfully unwilling to prove it, in which case, you are proving that God doesn't exist.

No silly, that would be me proving I am God to you.

Or, alternately, everyone who has not posted here is God.

Either way...

I have made no such claim. I merely assert that no one here can prove I am not.

Welcome aboard!

The fail train for this one is getting longer.

I make no claims whatsoever, except that you can not prove I am not God.

In this, I stand entirely without flaw.

The challenge still stands. Can no one here prove I am not God?

As for you...

A lovely blue Yamaha. I contend it chose me.

Wrong again - that is illogical since I believe in absolute truth. So whether or not I or you believe it, does not change its veracity.
