I have given up on the burden of proof debate. The debate assumes that that people gain knowledge from the ground up…starting with self-evident truths and reaching conclusions after building a tight chain of logical arguments. But people do not start with self-evident proofs. They are dropped into the middle of life and must work both backwards and forwards at the same time. The wise write life’s philosophy with a pencil. One end has a lead. The other end has an eraser.
Am I to assume you've now given up on the Ontological Argument, then? Or am I to simply chortle every time I see you praise its use in the future?
