All of our sense can be tricked, and so we do or don't know what to believe. For example this could all be a dream and therefore an impossible challege, which a majority of you are failing.

All of you saying my question is silly are really being outsmarted. and violence will get you no where. And people who say they think stiill cannot prov eto me that they exist because the thoughts are in their head and no been shown to others, so that argument does not hold.

What does that have to do with being an atheist? I thought atheists just did not believe in God, not that they doubted reality or material existence in general, like I have read some oriental religions do. Your question really puzzles me. I do not know that I could prove anything to you about anything. You believe or you don't. Somethings you can test by the 5 senses, other things you can not. Maybe that is your point? So you admit that you have only five and doubt the existence of a sixth, or else deny it outright. Right? That's fine by me, if it makes you happy.

These would be the same five senses that I would have to presumably use in order to 'prove' that god does/doesn't exist. What would be the point?
At the end of the day, the concept of proof is misapplied in nearly everything and there is really astonishingly little that anyone can say that they have proof of.

If you expect an answer to this silly question, you should be willing to prove that your god exists by using at least 1 of your 5 senses.

In an absolute sense? You can't prove anything absolutely. All you can do is go with what there's better evidence for.
The only evidence I have outside my five sense of my existence is my own thinking in my head. To borrow from DeCartes argument, I think, therefore I am.
However, anything we believe in life is caveated by "to the extent I know anything", whether we admit it or not.
If you're implying that atheists require any kind of absolute proof of anything, you're wrong and your question is meaningless. All we say is to weigh the available evidence.
Currently, there is a lot of evidence that gods are man-made, and a lot of evidence that humans have such superstitious beliefs. There is also no real evidence of any gods.

Without using any of the 5 senses, prove to me that your god exists.

The real world is not about proof. It is about evidence. You can't prove anything in the real world. As for evidence you have the text that I entered here. You can take it or leave it, I really don't care.

Whether you accept any proof that I exist is dependent upon your neural processes so I can't answer that. However, there is no way that you could prove to me that you exist.

How bout I sneak up behind you and give you a righteous goosing? It would be YOUR sense of touch proving my existence, after all...

I am writing this...if you are reading it, do you exist?
"Toda la vida es sueño, y sueños, sueños son."
I may not be an atheist, but I do think the world around me, and ALL the people in it exist. I also believe in GOD who guides us all.
