NB: Personal anecdotes, opinions and beliefs are not evidence.
I look forward to reading your evidence and reassessing my views on the matter.
Here's a random wikipedia link, apropos of nothing:

You are absolutely right. Not applicable at all.
Quote:You're shifting the burden of proof.
INCORRECT. I am pointing out your abject failure to meet your burden of proof.
Quote: Taq made the claim; he needs to support it, or retract it.
I point out that you have failed to meet your burden of proof, to wit, you have not provided a shred of evidence. That is a "black swan" argument that you can destroy by providing a single bit of evidence. Now trot your fairy tale monster over to CNN and show the world, or shut the fuck up.
I thought atheists were supposed to know about the basics of reasoned discussion.[/quote]
Far better than you, little girl.

...it was a bit. You know, a joke? Witty repartee? ...things going a little to fast for you?
We know a hysterical with nothing else to argue but "The adults are swearing, boo hoo!!!!" when we see one.
Quote:[quote]You also get onto him for calling god a monster creature fairy lord, or something, right? If him calling it as he sees it is an appeal to emotion, then so is you calling God, God.
"God" is just a useful label. We aren't talking about NASCAR or WoW, we're talking about "God". If you'd prefer that I use the label "god" instead, I'm fine with that.
Yes, it means whatever you make it up to be. That is because it is the product of every x-tard's pathological lying.

Provide evidence that your god exists and we can move on from there. If you cannot provide evidence, that we all have as much reason to agree with Taq re: you being unable to provide evidence.
I say I can fly around the earth in 2 seconds akin to that of superman. I don't provide evidence for it, but we get into discussions about how you not being able to refute my claim leads you to have no argument against my proposition. Absurd, no?
I find it ironic that you would post a WIKI link on an argument from ignorance as well...
Bullshit. I'm not making an argument from ignorance.
Here's the argument I'm criticizing:
"You cannot provide a shred of proof to support the existence of God."
You fucking liar.
The argument you are bleating at is this:
"You cannot provide a shred of EVIDENCE to support your claim of the existence of your fairy tale monster".
