The burden of proof for all your claims is not on any of us Canadians to disprove, but for you to prove. I'm skeptical of your claim that Christians are being persecuted today. Perhaps in the past that was the case, but last I checked Christians own an entire city state that controlled much of the world's wealth and power for a thousand years or more. Direct some of that persecution complex to a meaningful end and do something about Tibetan Buddhists instead of whinging on about injustices suffered 2000 years ago.
Moreover, I would welcome proof of your deity's existence, but that responsibility lies with you; and until you have some tangible proof, don't keep trying to use misleading arguments to keep the issue alive. Again, enough with the insistent whinging.
I'd very much like to see positive proof of any diety and then decide whether to believe in or worship said deity. Don't you think it is a little preemptive to want to believe and then go find some signs in the physical world that reify your belief? Until there is some sort of epistemologically verifiable evidence that holds up to scrutiny, the responsibility is not on any disbeliever to negate your claim (that because we can't prove god doesn't exist he exists). We're not the ones making the original claim here...
