You can't prove you're not joking

Response to that old theist fallback, "You can't prove God doesn't exist":

"You can't prove you're not joking."

Then proceed to insist they must be joking about their belief in God, and that they don't really believe it, they're just trolling you.

Good one theist, you almost got me - but nobody could really believe that stuff! Via: Reddit
