Positive claims and atheists
July 10, 2012 at 12:27 pm (This post was last modified: July 10, 2012 at 12:27 pm by Jeffonthenet.)
People keep calling God an imaginary friend, a myth, and saying that believing in Him is like believing in Batman. However, by the standard of evidence that atheists seem to require of me, they say that positive claims require positive evidence. Now, saying that believing in God is like believing in Batman is a positive claim, so I ask, where is the evidence?
