1. I was not discussing strictly the God debate, I was speaking more in general.
2. I do know that the person that makes the claim  needs to prove it, but I wanted to discus the semanthycs, how the burden shifts and that you can't use this as an counter argument.

This short exercise will show whether or not you understand the BoP.

The claim: Tarot cards can foretell your future.

The counter claim: No they can't.

Who carries the BoP; the claimant, the denier  or both?

The claimant but the denier isn't exempt of offering a counter argument after the claimer stated his argument.
