Better reasons to quit Christianity

[Faith No More]

The burden of proof does not lie on both sides. The claim of god's existence is a positive one with no proof, therefore the logical conclusion is to dismiss it. It is not up to the atheist to prove god does not exist just as it is not up to one accused of a crime to prove their innocence in a court of law. They must only defend themselves against the positive evidence put forward by the ones making the claim, the prosecution. If the prosectuion cannot put forth compelling evidence, the accusations are dismissed. Saying there is no evidence that disproves a claim is a reason to believe a claim will leave you oblivious to the truth you seek.

For instance, I claim right now that I am talking to the ghost of Albert Eintstien as I type this. You cannot prove that I am not, so does that mean that you must believe it is true?
