Name a claim I've made that I haven't backed up with evidence. You even wanted
statistics on your posting history, which, I note with some bemusement, you
haven't commented on, probably because you didn't expect me to be able to do
it.
You name the claim I *haven't* backed up with evidence, I'll proceed to back it
up.

Atheists rarely demand evidence that God exists -- because we know you
don't have any evidence. You just have your imaginary friends and hear
voices in your head. This is due to a well-known psychological
disorder known as schizophrenia.
The burden of proof is on those making claims, especially claims of an
extraordinary nature, such as the claim of the existence of an all
powerful, all knowing, eternal, magical creator being. Such a all
powerful being could do anything with essentially no effort, so why
couldn't this being communicate in a clear and obviously genuine
manner? Why is the Bible nothing more than cobbled together fables
written by men, edited by men, selected by men, copied by men, and
containing flaws and obvious fiction? A real GAWD could have just
presented Moses with a bound and essentially indestructible stainless
steel, chromium-plated manuscript. A real GAWD wouldn't need to fumble
through an evolutionary development process where 99% of created
species have gone extinct. A real GAWD wouldn't need to create a
universe of galaxies and billions of suns with apparently only one
measly planet supporting life.

He just can't stop lying, can he?
What "claims" is he pretending we're making?

Exactly.
Don't expect any honesty from this one.

He can't. Because his fundie cognitive dissonance makes him see what
he expects and makes the rest of it vanish as if it had never been
said.

A real god would not create a humanity so flawed
that he would have to destroy it all in a world wide flood.

How exactly would you prove that something does not exist?
Start simple. How about any one of the Hindu gods.

It is however the falsifiable default pending evidence that they do.
And reinforced into a conclusion by every intellectually dishonest
copout, fallacy, lie about what we do or don't claim and other
personal falsehoods, etc.

I claim that there is no good evidence that gods exist. I claim that
widespread belief in gods is better explained by human psychology than by
their actual existence.
The evidence of my claims is lack of evidence to the contrary. If you
wish to refute my claim that "no good evidence exists", then present some
good evidence. We atheists have been waiting for thousands of years, and
so far none has come forth.
Clear enough for you?

You don't have to prove it, Duke. Proof is for number theory anyway. All you have to do is show us one Bible prophecy that came true, as advertised, other than something like "Tyre shall be sacked" because all cities were sacked in those days.
