how is my logic faulty? i said we cannot prove or disprove gods existence, thats it. so i didn't even take a stance. you however are sitting here telling me that god ISN'T real. so where is your logic? where is your proof? i agreed with you 'lack of disproof is not evidence of proof' but i am not trying to prove anything YOU ARE.

What I said applied, and continues to apply to what you have been saying.
What is the difference between the amount of proof we have that goblins exist, and the amount of proof we have that God exists? There is no difference, they have equal amounts of evidence in favor of them, that being none. So, when you make statements like:
"We cannot disprove nor prove the existance of god, so to argue his existance is pointless"
You must also acknowledge that to keep in line with your own logic, it would only follow that you also believe
"We cannot disprove nor prove the existance of goblins, so to argue their existance is pointless"
Obviously you don't believe that, so why do you apply that logic to God?
You have said that asserting God's non-existance is bold, so therefore, by your logic, asserting the non-existance of Goblins must also be bold, but certainly you do not believe that. Which is why I can say with the same amount of confidence "God does not exist" that I can say "Goblins do not exist".
Certainly you agree that goblins do not exist, but by your own admission it is bold to say God does not exist. Why? God has no more proof in his favor than do Goblins. So you are not in line with the very logic you have presented in this argument in your assertion that Goblins do not exist. Your logic has pinned you into a corner whereby you have to admit that asserting the non-existance of Goblins is bold, which you obviously will not do. That is why your logic doesn't work.
