We always answer the question but you lack the mental capacity to understand. One cannot prove that something does not exist. That is why it is up to the claimant, you, to prove the positive assertion. Absence of proof is sufficient to prove a prima facie case for nonexistence. Pony up evidence to the contrary if you can.
ADDENDUM
"Because deep down inside they know they can't prove jack! "
Other than the obvious fact stated in the previous paragraph? Thank you, so much, for providing reinforcing evidence as to the mental ability of your lot.

The reason atheists do not answer this question is because they understand reasoning and logic a little bit better than you. They will occasionally try to walk you through the steps to reach that conclusion, but without the ability to bestow omniscience (I'm still working on it), they cannot prove to you that your god does not exist. In turn, however, you cannot prove that vampires, werewolves, unicorns, dragons, etc., etc. ad infinitum do not exist.

I would be happy to try.
But you have to qualify your question first.
1. What, exactly, am I trying to disprove? Does it have any characteristics or quantifiable aspects that we can examine?
2. What would constitute "proof" for you? Clearly, the complete dearth of any actual empirical evidence doesn't bother you, so what would be convincing to you? This is important because without some understanding here it would be pointless to try.
3. Is it disproveable for you? Honest question. I've been told many times by believers that, no matter what evidence or understanding the future brings, they would never give up their faith...no matter what. Again, it's pointless to ask if this is your pov.
I look forward to your response.

You can't prove anything doesn't exist. That argument was created by junior high school dropouts who didn't want to use their brains, and from the way you spelled your question I'm guessing you're one of them. Go back to your mommas shack in the woods, cook up some deer and possum stew, live in your little fantasy world and let us intelligent people run the world.

You are entitled to your opinion. If it were prooovable (more "o"s than you!) either way, there would not be any need for debate.
So no, I cannot prove he doesn't. Just as I cannot prove he does regardless of my belief.
Jimmy: there are many good answers here by SuperAtheist, Reverend Soleil, Denderbat, Pod, and more. I hope you have the ability to open your mind and read them.

Actually, I'm a libertarian atheist.
But we don't answer your question because we don't need to.
The person making the positive statement is the one who bears the burden of proof.
Unless and until you provide some evidence to support the God Hypothesis, atheism wins by default.

Which god would you like me to start with..Zeus, Ra, Cybele, Freya, Hera, Demeter, Tiamat, Ninsun, Asherah, etc...
All the above have been worshiped over history with the same fervor you apply to the current "God", and your religion is based firmly in the myths surrounding these legends

Sure! Which of the thousands of gods is the one you still believe exists?
I assume you're already convinced that all the other ones don't, right? You selective atheist, you.

You cannot prove that the tooth fairy doesn't exist either, but there are people all over the world who claim to have proof.

We always answer this question.
The absence of evidence is an evidence of absence.
Unless you also want me to disprove the existence of flying pink unicorns as well.
