The burden of proof is NOT on Atheists! We simply do not believe in this particular something that there is no logical evidence for the existence of. The burden of proof is on YOU who believe. Why do you all keep trying to pin it on us to DISPROVE the existence of "God"? You tell us this crazy story of an immaculate conception and a big imaginary friend who grants us our wishes if we ask but only if he wants to because he has a plan for you from the moment you're born until the day you die, but oh yeah, you have free will even though "God" has a plan for you.

You tell us this crazy story about this imaginary dude and challenge US to disprove his existence? Sounds like a huge COP OUT to me, theists! The burden of proof is on YOU, not ME. I don't have to disprove "God"'s existence to affirm my decision to not believe in this "God" character. If you want me to believe and participate in your rituals, you need to convince me that he exists. And in the nearly 27 years I've been here, everyone has failed.

The funniest part is that you all come down to the argument that basically says "You can't explain how we got here, therefore God exists." What the fuck kind of retarded garbage is that?

"God" is just a grown-up version of Santa Claus, a concept invented by man as a way to control people en masse. Be good or you'll get coal in your stocking/go to hell!


We're not (or, rather, I'm not) trying to place any burden on you to disprove it. That is, unless you're going to come and say "I KNOW he does not exist". If you know it, then you will be able to prove it. The same goes with people who claim to KNOW that God exists.

And, to point it out again, God /= religion. Claiming that God does not exist on the basis of one religion "getting it wrong", as you claim, has no bering on the overall existance or nonexistance of God.

I could care less whether or not you choose to believe in God, or to follow a particular religion. Just don't go claiming you "KNOW" the answer, because I will challenge you to prove your knowledge every time.

"You can't explain how we got here, therefore God exists."? I have never once claimed that. Anything remotely resembling that was when I stated that the idea of the universe coming into existance is just as likely to be explained as attributable to God, as the only other alternatives, spontaneous creation or non-creation (has simply always existed).

Only one problem with your arguement. Santa Clause does, or rather did, exist!
