You cannot disprove I'm not god in disquise, but does that mean your going to drop to your knees and worship me? I doubt it.
But if I were to make such a claim I would have to prove it in order for it to be accepted as truth. It wouldn't require you to disprove anything for my claim to be rendered false. Thus the burden of proof would lie with me. The same goes for anyone else making claims of divine beings.
Also, we cannot disprove unicorn, goblins, fairies, etc. but given that there is no substanical proof or evidence of their existance, there is no valid reason to believe in such things. The same goes for god.
Beliefs and judgements should be based on logic, science, and probability, and available evidence and data. And if such things lean towards god not existing more than it does god existing, would it not me more reasonable and rational to be an atheist? yes, anything is possible. And yes, there could possibly be a god. But it's equally likely that elves and dwarves are living in the core of the earth.
I go with what I know. Personally, I see no feasable reason to believe in invisible cloud monsters. For others, it's a sort of psychological security blanket.
