Indeed it is. If you're idea of discussion is talking down to someone, so be it. As far as generosity goes, however, I find it difficult to believe that the OP wouldn't have been just fine without your response, but I could be wrong.
Quote:About your ETA: please do not compare my view of reality to a theistic one. While you are trying to shift the burden of proof, it is me that deal with real life, people and the natural word. Theists are the ones that need to define precisely and prove, so that anyone can see, of their god, whatever that is. The same thing I say about believers in the tooth fairy. It is an extraordinary claim, usually Its theists that have to provide proof of that.
Pretty sure the burden of proof falls to anyone making or implying a positive claim to truth as though it is objectively correct. Don't think it has anything to do with what the content of that claim is. I have no issue with people tearing down what a person believes to be true, provided they are actually claiming or implying that it's true.
