The brilliant philosopher at Thomism.org has come up with hundreds of proofs for the non-existence God. They are a brilliant response to another website called Hundreds of Proofs of God's Existence.
Some of my favs:
ARGUMENT FROM THE MEANING OF LIFE (I)
(1) You cannot prove that there is meaning in life.
(2) Therefore, there is no meaning in life.
(3) That's what life is about.
(4) Therefore, God does not exist.
ARGUMENT FROM NOT BEING ABLE TO PROVE A NEGATIVE (III)
(1) Atheist: "There is no God."
(2) Theist: "Prove it."
(3) Atheist: "You can't prove a negative."
(4) Theist: "Yes you can: you can prove that square circles don't exist,
that this ball I'm about to drop won't float to the ceiling, that the
word 'Yidjakqg' isn't in this dictionary."
(5) Atheist: "Nice work at trying to change the subject. I'm talking about God. Not 'square circles' and crap like that."
(6) Therefore, God does not exist.
I personally know someone who uses the following proof:
ARGUMENT FROM LABELING, a.k.a. ARGUMENT FROM POPULARITY
(1) If you are a Christian, then you're a geek.
(2) Geeks are unpopular at school; no one cares about them.
(3) The popular kids are not Christian.
(4) So you shouldn't be either, if you want to be popular.
(5) Therefore, God does not exist.
ARGUMENT FROM SELF-KNOWING, a.k.a. AUTO-EPISTEMIC
(1) If God exists then I would know it.
(2) I do not know it.
(3) And I don't care if other people know it.
(4) Therefore, God does not exist.
