I'm not a simply-lacker.... but the burden of proof regardless still rests on the believer, as belief in God is far less parsimonious, a far more extraordinary claim, and far more improbable.

None, of that matters.  If you are making a claim, then you have a share in the burden of proof for what you are claiming.    You don't get a free pass, as long as you feel that your claims do not surpass the opposition.   It doesn't work that way.  

Many of you guys, for being so quick to bring up the B.O.P. for others, work really hard to get out of it yourselves.  It appears that there are a bunch of pseudo-skeptics!
