How Many Has God Killed?

[Skipper]

If you look honestly at any debate, both sides have to prove their points. How selfish of some of you to throw the burden of proof exclusively on me.

You and your religion are the ones making claims that something exists. So the burden of proof IS exclusively on you. Of course there is no way of proving or disproving god exists in the same way there is no way to disprove or prove the existence of unicorns and elves, however, logically we all assume these not to exist because if there is no proof of somethings existence most people would take the stance that it dosen't exist. It seems only when we as a species start talking about a higher being we throw all these rules that we follow in every other part of our lives out the window and replace logic and reason with faith and belief that we have a special connection that proves something exists. If I claimed I had made a personal connection, like you claim to have with god, with a talking flying teapot you would rightly laugh in my face. It's only because your version of the talking flying teapot has been spoken of through the ages by billions of people world wide that it has any legitimacy, if I had the same conviction about my teapot (that has the exact same amount of actual proof for its existence as your god(that is zero)) that you and many of your followers share for your god I would be seen as insane and possibly locked up. So yea, society has given you free reign to believe whatever bullshit mumbo jumbo religion you choose to, but don't ever think any burden of proof is on us....it will forever be entirely on the ones making the claims of somethings existence.
