Prove to me that demons don't exist.
You've got the burden of proof backwards.
If someone claims that bigfoot, fairies, demons, unicorns, or the Loch Ness monster exist, then it isn't the job of others to prove them wrong.
If someone claims that bigfoot, fairies, demons, unicorns, or the Loch Ness monster exist, then it is their job to prove their claims right.
Does this make sense? If someone tells you that a flying spaghetti monster exists, then it isn't your job to prove them wrong - it's their job to prove themselves right. We can safely conclude that they are wrong until they present evidence that supports their claim.
It makes more sense to ask someone to provide evidence that something exists than it does to ask for evidence that something does not exist. If I asked you to prove that Santa Claus does not exist, could you provide sufficient evidence to prove it? It would be much more reasonable to ask me to provide evidence that he does exist. When my evidence of Santa's existence is lacking, then we can all safely conclude that he probably doesn't exist.
