While it is impossible to prove that there are no gods, because there is no way to test it, we can disprove the notion of the Christian god using logic. The Christian god is said to be omnipotent, omniscient, and omni-benevolent, and that man has free will. The problem is that all three of these are conflicting characteristics. If he is all knowing, then everything that will ever happen, and has ever happened is already known by him, and thus there is no free will. If god is omni-benevolent, then he is perfectly good and will only do good things, but this god has sat by and watched man ravaged by plague, watched his earthly creatures suffer, and has even caused the pain himself, meaning that he is not omni-benevolent. If he is all powerful, then he has no restrictions, and thus there is no reason why he could not create a utopia. He would have known Adam and Eve would become sinners before hand, being all knowing, and would have had the power to make man perfectly good, and not instinctive sinners. Instead we blame ourselves for our fatal flaws, but if this god up there was so good, he would not have made us so fatally flawed. Thus it is not our fault we are bad, it is his.

I could go on much more, but the point is pretty much out there, there Christian god cannot exist as he is claimed to, as there are many conflicting characteristics, and stories.
