I most certainly can. I do it all the time.
Surely you've noticed?

Theism is all based on a simple premise: magic and that. It's all demonstrably nonsense and it is the broad acceptance of the harmless end of the nonsense that forms the platform upon which all the deeply harmful stuff is based.

Remove the platform, the house of cards comes tumbling down and I get to take a big smug shit on all the vicious little cunts at the top.

Ok, wrong choice of words on my part.
You can but it's wrong to. Not all religious people are harmful. In fact, I know quite a few who are very pleasant people and religion brings them comfort. What's so wrong with that?

What's wrong with it is that it includes the assumption that it's okay to believe false things.
In particular, that you have a personal, secret line of communication with the moral authority of the universe.
If that assumption weren't so vehemently defended by perfectly nice people, there'd be far less defense for more extreme, harmful religion and all sorts of other harmful things.

I'm pretty sure it is impossible to prove that God doesn't exist.

Utter arse.
The various Gods and their various actions in the Universe are perfectly well documented in the religious texts of the various delusions. It's perfectly possible to invalidate every single one of them. All that's left at the end is an airy fairy hippy definition of some fluffy woolly feeling that 'something' exists out there.

Well ... you're welcome to that. It's entirely without meaning or import and it's not what any of the major religions are based upon.

Now you're arguing a different point.

No I'm not.
The theists of the world have made it perfectly clear what they mean by 'God'. And that thing can be proved not to exist.

Inventing a new thing called 'God' is just plain cowardly bullshit.

Now you're just restating your original point, without any actual justification
You really need to learn how to argue more effectively.

Is that you backing out of the discussion then?

No, but I've seen you try to several times,
so you must know that your argument is flawed.

Bless. I almost miss being a teenager
and wearing that unassailable blanket of delusional self-confidence.

At least you've not improved your mental capabilities since.

No. They've gone downhill slowly with age.
But I've learned how to carry an argument without resorting to name-calling and gongs. And I've still won this argument in the spare time between doing my real job. I really could almost get an erection with the excitement of it all if I weren't so old and decrepit.

You clearly haven't won though, as the messages you've posted show.
(But you're still in Rumour Equal Fact mode of argument)

And as for spare time, what you mean is that as well as being so stupid as to try to argue a point that is logically incorrect, you're also so professionally bankrupt as to fail to work the hours for which you are contracted.

You're terribly aggressive when you're excited.
It isn't that attractive.

I've not mentioned anything agressive or excited.
You on the other hand, have been using such words and they show how you are feeling.

An interesting piece of philosophical wanking, but useless and irrelevant.
Invisible pixies, etc. If there's no reason to believe something exists, you don't.

Also quite a recent notion. God as defined in the texts of any of the major religions has been observed not to exist every time anyone's looked.

Pretty much everything outside of pure mathematics is impossible to prove, in the strictest sense of the word
But weight of evidence is firmly on the side of his nonexistence, as long as you don't let religious people shift the goalposts halfway through
