Quote:The burden of proof is on the one making the claim.   If you are claiming that something is false, then you have the burden to show the reasons/evidence for that claim.  I have run into a fair number of people who didn't understand this.  Atheist do have the burden of proof, as soon as they make any claim which is not agnostic.

Stealing from an old cartoon:

Theist: I has a ball!
Atheist: Really? Can I see it?
Theist: YOU CAN'T PROVE I DON'T HAVE A BALL!!!

Adding:
Atheist: Wow, now I'm more skeptical that you have a ball than I was in the first place.
Theist: You're saying I don't have a ball, you're making the claim, the burden of proof is on you.
Atheist: WTF?
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
