The debate is over

[Taqiyya Mockingbird]

@"Just because you think that you don't have a need to prove that there are not any gods does not mean that there are not gods. That is all that I am trying to say."

Just because you think that you don't have a need to prove that there are not any Flying Spaghetti Monsters does not mean that there are not Flying Spaghetti monsters. That is all that I am trying to say.

Which means you are saying nothing at all.

Attempting to shift the burden of proof is disingenuous and intellectually dishonest.

We don't "THINK" we don't have a need to prove there are not any gods. We KNOW we don't. It is up to the claimant to prove their claims. And extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

I am bewildered by some of the people on here. It is hopeless.

Did anyone call for volunteers to play "devil's advocate"?

I have never seen anyone who claimed to be playing self-appointed "devil's advocate" who wasn't simply trying to sidestep responsibility (and flak) for their hidden true beliefs.

Lie with dogs, pick up fleas.

"I'm just playing devil's advocate" is snakeoilsalesmaneese for "I'm being a douchebag".
