Hey christians! Let's get this straight: [Spirituality & Religion]

@puck61:

"the burden is on you"

Then we agree. And therefor we can agree who bears the burden of proof for the claim that god exists.

@MetalGreymon: Yeah, but this how humanity works.
Mr X says there is a God, and convinces a bunch of other people that there is a God. They read their bible and go to church and conquer their nations and grow their religion.
Mr. B says there is no God and convinces a much smaller number that there is no god and they do their thing.
Historically though, if Mr B causes too much trouble, then Mr X and his bunch deal with Mr B and his bunch like poor John Barleycorn!
Down here in my neck of the woods, Mr B used the legal system to have a cross removed from a local park, and outraged some 250,000 plus friends of Mr X. Well, Mr B succeeded in ruining his life and outraging a bunch of people. What is the point? Why bother?

@puck61:


Irrelevant to the debate

@TearDropsOfLove:

ok

@Stereoguy: Thank you. I've studied this topic in depth.

@Peekaboo:

Then can you give me a little more than "trust me" and "look it up yourself" ?

@kkergo:

No i don't think any concrete proof will be showing up

@Calipri:

They only need to prove it if they're claiming that the existence of god is a fact

@StormyLynn:

Even then it is not.
If i make the claim that leprechauns don't exist, i am making that claim based on the fact that there is no evidence to suppose that they do.
It is not on me to prove that they don't exist.

@ArrnArr:

almost certainly not lol

@MetalGreymon: haha, good try though ^_^

@Peekaboo:

So what would a deductive argument in this context look like?
I find that the evidence to suppose god exists is uncompelling. How do i format that into a deductive argument?

@MetalGreymon: The first step is to generate belief classifications. The second step is to construct a grid depicting bias and work. The third step is to place beliefs on the grid.

@Peekaboo:

lol i'm sorry. You're talking over my head.

@insextra:

I can't!

@insextra:

make me😉
