No the burden of proof is not on me.I know through experiance that the God of the Bible exist.I do not need to prove God to anyone that is a work for God.You say my logic is a mess? You say that you are not claiming there is no God does this mean you don't know if He exist.If this is the case then how can you reject the claim there is God.
I know God exist and I know that Christ is my saviour and I know many other things about God and I can't prove them to you and you can't disprove my claim.You can disagree with my claim,you can disrespect my claim,you can laugh at it,you can trample it,you can do anything you desire with it but just as I can not prove to you that God exist you can not disprove His existance.
Quote:No the burden of proof is not on me.You are claiming the existance of god are you not? Then the burden of proof is on you!
Quote:I do not need to prove GodTrue, you don't have to prove it, however if you wish people to take it seriously your going to need some credibility. Like say...evidence?
Quote: You say that you are not claiming there is no God does this mean you don't know if He exist.Your sentance is a little messy but yep. I don't know weather he exists or not. However I don't believe he exists. This does not constitute a belief. I lack belief in him but also acknowledge that I cannot know either way on his existance. It's you who's claiming here, so it's you who has the burden of proof.
Quote:If this is the case then how can you reject the claim there is God.Same reason I reject the claim that santa exists or the tooth fairy or the invisible flying wardrobe in the sky. If you have no evidence of it, it can be rejected. "Claim without evidence, it can be dismissed without evidence".
Quote:I know God exist and I know that Christ is my saviour and I know many other things about God and I can't prove them to you and you can't disprove my claim.You KNOW this, you KNOW that but can't support your claims. If you have nothing to show apart from stories about your personal beliefs then I'm not interested. As far as I am concerned, you know nothing!
Quote:I can not prove to you that God exist you can not disprove His existanceI cannot prove that the flying invisible wardrobe exists and nor can you disprove it. I cannot prove the FSM exists and nor can you disprove it. So where does this leave us? No where really. God, FSM, Allah whatever you believe in. If there is no evidence to support it, it has no credibility and so will not be taken seriously.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
