I saw it again today. An atheist saying that the burden of proof is on someone else. That doesn’t work for me. It is not someone else’s job to prove me wrong. If I have even a sliver of a fraction of a doubt that I might be wrong about God, it is my job to sort out whether that doubt is valid or not. I am an agnostic at heart. I want to prove myself right to myself and for myself. Until I can do that, I won’t assume someone else is wrong without hearing them out. The burden of proof for my beliefs is entirely on me.

Curious how christians are terrified of the burden of proof. This shows that they have nothing to show that their imaginary friend exists.
The burden of proof is on the one making the positive claim, e.g. “My god exists”.
So, when it comes to a Christian saying “Other gods do not exist” and a Hindu person says “Vishnu exists”. Who has the burden of proof? The christian would say the Hindu. And thus the claim of the christian fails when he tries to lie and claims that the atheist has the burden of proof to show his particular version of the christian god doesn’t exist.
I’ll guess that this christian won’t allow this comment appear. I hope he does.

You are the one who says Vishnu does not exist. Do you have proof?

Nice to see you believe in another god other than the christian one. It’s great fun to see what christians will do when they are desperate to dodge the question.

The Council of God is fairly orthodox Mormonism. What do you have to say about Vishnu or is he just a red herring?

And again, Mark desperately tries to put off the inevitable. I am an atheist when it comes to all gods, so i have concluded that there is no evidence for any god or gods.
to repeat: The burden of proof is on the one making the positive claim, e.g. “My god exists”.

Who has the burden of proof in this example, Mark?
and it’s always great when theists try to claim that some baseless assertion of theirs is “fairly orthodox”, when their religion can’t agree on the most basic things.

Yours is a positive claim that gods do not exist. I have already given you the evidence for why I think they do and you continue to ignore it. The burden of proof for you is on you. I can’t satisfy your soul hungry for a fight. Try again.

ROFL. No, dear, it isn’t. You have claimed this:
“my god exists.”
I have asked you for evidence that it does. You cannot provide evidence and you have claimed that I have to show that it doesn’t.
christians claim no other gods but theirs exists. By your own claim, *you* have to show evidence that they do not. Where is your evidence for that, Mark?

Fine tuning, design, moral center, and personal experience. Sorry that’s too hard for you.

no fine tuning to be found. Curious how there is nothing in the universe that shows it is meant for humans. It is 99.999…% lethal to us. Even this planet is majority lethal to us.
If you want to clam your god designed things, then yuo need to explain why it was evidently stupid, or malicious, when it made the main source of energy that lets us live give us cancer? Why did it make human bodies to guarantee that thousands of humans choke to death every year?
Curious how christians dont’ agree on what morals their god wants with each making up their own version. Christian morality is demosntrably subjective, with each inventing a list of morals they claim their god wants, and yet the poor dears can’t show that their god merely exists, much less agrees with them. They also have the problem that they must insist that their god doesn’t have to follow these supposedly “objective” morals since they have to invent excuses why it is okay for this god to commit genocide, to kill people for the actions of others, etc. This makes their morality subjective to who someone is. it also shows their morality is little more than might equals right.
and funny how your god never gave humans morality, even per your magic book. Eve took it.
Every cultist claims personal experience and gee, you each claim the other doesn’t have it.
you fail again.
