The existence of God cannot be proven nor disproven through the means available on this website

Ok, I have been seeing a lot of debates about whether or not god exists lately and they have started to annoy me. I believe that it is impossible to prove or disprove the existence of a god on this website. As con, you job would be to either prove or disprove god, whichever one you prefer. As you will be the one making the positive claim, the burden of proof will be on you. Feel free to begin your arguments in the first round....

Every song written from 2003 and up have the most basic rhyme scheme. For example...

Xbox One is A Great Machine... Misconcieved...
Xbox One... a beautiful console. With a fusion of matte and gloss, a 50/50 share of either, which contribute to a beautiful console case. Yet even beyond the looks, Xbox One is sophisticated, with it's powerful x86 architecture, a custom Microsoft CPU, and 8GB of RAM, which isn't the absolute best, but can get any job a game console of the sort is used for, faster then even needed, or expected. 300,000 servers, which surpasses the very minimal 15,000 servers used for the current generation Xbox'...
Citizens should be allowed to own firearms.


My argument's main idea will be the following : US citizens should legally be allowed to own firearms for their protection. This round is for acceptance only. The con should obviously be arguing that US citizens should not be allowed to own firearms....
