im not making fun of anyone, i was just noticing that everybody can either take offence at that, or use it to prove themseves right.

Yeah they do exist. Once , I found out that a friend was by accident. Once I just made the random comment of " pray for me" , and my friend got all serious and said " No, because I don't pray, I don't believe in god". It was kinda like she got offended, but I said the comment without really meaning anything bad, but apparently she felt very strongly about it. Well I have respect for other people's beliefs so it didn't really bother me.

If atheism is believing in the non-existence of god it is an assumption (as defined by "belief") that he does not exist and not per se proof that no god exists. Therefore the belief does not dictate the fact. Likewise with your little question. Clever, but not as much so as you think. Especially since one could ask:
do unicorns exist? cos I do believe in them. therefore they must.
All of these assume one thing - that the opiner is correct.

That proves a good point so I'll use it to my advantage.
You don't believe in atheists so that means that they don't exist, right? I'm sure a lot of atheists don't agree with this because they know that they do exist.
So when atheists say that God doesn't exist because they don't believe in Him, then we Christians disagree because we KNOW that God DOES exist.
Thank you, I like this "question"

Yes they do.
What you belive does not change nature. It is arrogant to assume that your disbelief in something positively falsifies it for everyone else. That is simply delusional and as delusional as the believe in the supernatural due to subjective experience.
We most certainly exist. Our ranks grow daily. We outnumber believers already and will continue to do so as the beleif in revealed religion is sloughed off of our poor unevolved fellows.

Do any of us exist? Our mind is what processes all of our senses, but our mind is easily tricked. How do we know we are not just the figment of someone's imagination? How do we know we're not dreaming and only get glimpses of the real world in dreams?

I'm assuming that you're making fun of an atheists beliefs by saying, "cos I don't believe in them. therefore they can't possibly."
Does my imaginary friend exist? Well, since I believe in her, she must.
See? There's the hole in your little attempt at logic.

Wow, deja-vu all over again. And you still don't believe in the Spell-Checker. Got to love that consistency.

Excellent! The fewer people who believe I exist, the better!

Yes. Just because you don't believe or say something doesn't mean it is true. Just for your FYI.

If I don't exist, then it must be some ghost that keeps drinking all the beer in the house.
