Your first paragraph is correct and well written. But then you follow with "But this isn’t the case for God (or even god/s) so it won’t do to appeal to other things we know don’t exist to justify God not existing. "

You make this statement with such authority, such confidence, like it is a statement of fact. But it is just your particular opinion. Basically you are saying that God gets a pass on the usual requirements for logical reasoning. But then you belittle atheists as avoiding rational thinking. This kind of contradiction is found elsewhere in your rant.

You say atheists should have to prove that there is no God. But after all the well written words, the one thing you failed to present was a single argument FOR the existence of a God. You make a whole lot of statements that are merely your opinion, no evidence given, but presented as the "Ah ha!" moments. Sorry, but the measure of a treatise is not the number of words, but their value in getting at the truth of something. Yours fail.
