...My opinion is that the theist claim has not met its burden of proof. And if you think that really is "no opinion" regarding the claim of theism...I dunno what to tell you. I don't think theism has met its burden of proof, I do not accept it as true or likely true, I'm an a-theist. Literally non-theist.
This is why I said earlier in the thread that labels can drive discussions down a rabbit hole of semantics, which is why I think we should put them aside if they get in the way and discuss what we actually believe. I don't believe a god exists, I don't believe that theism has met its burden of proof - label me whatever you want. Atheist is the label that seems to work for most people, and it's what I use by default.
