As I said before:

"I, personally, am more interested in hearing an atheist's justification/reasons for thinking the way they do and providing my justification/reasons (if asked), rather than formal arguments back and forth trying to shift the burden of proof."

You have all told me what you think and why so I am satisfied and I do not think there are any questions I have not answered. Consequently, I just see no point in going on with the conversation. What would become of it? More of "here are my reasons", "those aren't convincing reasons"? So I make a few jokes to try and end things on a cordial note (admittedly with some sarcasm in there). If you don't like me doing that...oh well...that is me. If you want to conclude by describing me as ignorant or as having no "ammunition" left...go for it.

The burden of proof is on those who have faith, for they lack evidence.

What if I say I dont believe there is no God then?

Is that still a positive claim?

I hope you were kidding, because if so that is hilarious! If you were serious... well... /facepalm. By the way I don't not believe you didn't mean to unsay what you didn't not say.

Then I'd have to say "What do you believe?".

Maybe you believe neither way because you are two fucking confused! lol.

What would your answer be to the same question given to weak or strong atheism?
