You can't disprove God's existence.
However you can't prove that there aren't Leprechauns, pixies, dragons and unicorns wandering around all the forests in europe.
If you don't feel that the inability to disprove those magical creatures forces you to accept them then you might as well reject the big sky-fairy and his santaesque reward/punishment deal too.

God, of any variety, is not falsifiable in any earthly arena, and such is the reason for the acrimony we experience here. Were god falsifiable, belief in such would be a provable symptom of insanity.

Not falsifiable. Any theory that is not falsifiable, that is, there are no conditions under which it could be shown false, is not a bona fide theory.
I have an imaginary God, and I don't care about theories.

Unfortunately it is not provable or falsifiable. It has been set up that way. Consider the subject of prayer. If you pray for something and:
1. It happens then you say that your prayer was heard and acted on.
2. It doesn't happen then you say that it was heard but god hasn't responded yet.
3. Or if something different happens then you say that god heard it and answered it but not the way that you expected.
Therefore, the religious mind says that prayer proves god because after you pray anything that happens is proof of god.

Existence of a religious-personal god is easily disproved, but universal energy, expansion and order are hard to deny.

Not testable, so not falsifiable.

I don't care what anyone says or believes about God, I know he is very real. I know the Bible is his word, and Christ his son. Call me what you will.
