The Burden of Proof: Theists of SW, do you believe that an atheist has a burden of proof when it comes to their lack of belief in a god [Spirituality & Religion]

or their rejection of the claim that a god exists?

If you say no, then i agree. If you say yes, then let's discuss.

The ultimate proof, the ultimate miracle is right in front of you=== are you able to assimilate sense data, run comparative analysis, then utilise cognitive function to reach your own conclusions regarding the wide array of stimuli Creation is adorned with?

If so, miricale/ultimate proof

If not, I feel sorry for you
@Jm31xxx That is like saying you know cows exist because their are plants to eat.

Sorry man, didn't quite get how that came down to an answer on the burden of proof.
Can you rephrase?
And are you trying to say that these things are proof of creation?
If so, please explain why.

@Pikachu Still showing your scientific ignorance I see. Pity.
@hippyjoe1955

*yawn*

Get back to me when you're prepared to defend your assertion that an atheist has the burden of proof.

Scientific understanding doesn't even enter into this particular conversation.
It's just another one of your canned responses to questions you find to challenging to answer.

Think on the question a little and try again, ok buddy?😁

@Pikachu Your understanding of science is surpassed by a bag of hammer handles.

Tut tut, joe. Treat others as you would like to be treated😏

You get frustrated when you find yourself unable to answer a question and so you turn to petty insults to soothe your ego.

You're embarrassing yourself.

I'm feeling generous so i shall give you just one more chance to salvage some dignity.

Why does an atheist need to prove that your claim is wrong in order to be justified in not believing it until you prove that it is true?
@Pikachu

Hey buddy. You must have missed this post.

Go ahead and make your response whenever you feel prepared.
