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.

@GodSpeed63 The authority of reality.
Why do you ignore posts about the abhorrent things your god is credited with in the bible. The Christian mind just cannot accept the malevolent character of the Biblical God

The authority of reality.

Reality doesn't have authority. God, Yahweh, is more real than you or I could hope to be.

@GodSpeed63 Wow, reality doesn't have authority? A very telling statement

Let me put it in a way you may able to under stand: God is the Author of reality.

Go from the presence of a foolish man, in this case, woman, when you do not perceive in her the lips of knowledge (Proverbs 14:7). The Word of God.

Be praying for you, kid.
@GodSpeed63

God is the Author of reality.

Prove it.

@Pikachu You and the rest of mankind is proof enough for starters.
@GodSpeed63

Bold statement.
Back it up or concede it.

Bold statement. Back it up or concede it.

Do you see a person wise in their own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for them. Proverbs 26:12 The Word of God

It's already been backed a number of times.
@GodSpeed63


Then it will be no trouble to do it now.
So do it now or you concede the point.

Just take a look in the mirror, you'll see one.
@GodSpeed63

Nope. Failed.
That's logical fallacy known as begging the question. You can't use your claim as evidence that your claim is right.

That's strike one.

Apparently it's been done many times before...so why are you having so much trouble?4
Try again or concede the point.

I don't think so.

Proverbs 18:2 A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion. The Word of God.

@GodSpeed63 @Pikachu Actually man is the author of God

Actually man is the author of God

Where'd you dig that up? How do you know?

@GodSpeed63 Man creates its' gods. Always has. Jesus wasn't thought of as God until well after his death. All gods are just folklore

You haven't answered my question.

@GodSpeed63 People have invented gods throughout history. I can go down a laundry list of civilizations and their religions. All eventually collapse as humans become more enlightened. Your religion is no different

Nope. If there was no God, man wouldn't even think, if that were possible, of creating a god for him to give an account to. Everything that man would do would be permissible.
@GodSpeed63

I don't think so.

You also can't rebut me.

You said humanity is proof of god.
Substantiate that claim or you concede the point.

That's trike 2.
@GodSpeed63

If there was no God, man wouldn't even think,

Prove it.

Wrong.
People still live with other people. They would still be accountable to other people and not everything is permissible.

Your rebuttal?
CookieLuvsBunny · 31-35, F
@GodSpeed63 Completely unsubstantiated claim. Even if your analysis were correct, which it isn't, that still would have no bearing on whether or not God exists
GodSpeed63 · 70-79, M
@Pikachu
Prove it.

Why? You're doin' such a great job of it yourself. You're goin' around tellin' everyone that there is no God when you can't even come with any kind of evidence to support that claim. Then, you do your darnedest to get True Believers in Christ, like my self to show you evidence that God, Yahweh, does live. When we share that evidence, you jump up and down in tantrum saying that isn't good enough.

Wrong.

Bull. There'd be no laws for man to follow or morals either. Man wouldn't know right from wrong or what truth is and what lie is. he wouldn't even know his butt from his elbow and do as he pleases.
@GodSpeed63


lol got sucked into your own propoganada, did ya fella?

In fact, i HAVEN'T gone around saying there is no god.
I've gone around say that you can produce no evidence nor argument in favour of a god AND YOU HAVEN'T.

True Believers in Christ, like my self to show you evidence that God, Yahweh, does live.

Ok. Show me that evidence. I DARE you.
Show me that evidence and then explain why it should be considered evidence.

There'd be no laws for man to follow or morals either. Man wouldn't know right from wrong or what truth is and what lie is

Prove it😁😁😁

Or was that just another bold claim which you are totally incapable of supporting?

Hint: this is where you're going to need to fall back on quoting scripture because you can't formulate an argument.
CookieLuvsBunny · 31-35, F
@GodSpeed63 You refuse to even define what you mean by "god." Your term "God" is without meaning

Doesn't mean He's not real.
