This is NOT about my "deity", this is about Goober's views of what a Christian believes. And of course, the subsequent "True Christian™" game...
Spec asked, I answered. They are my opinions, no more. Now, if you (anyone) wish to bring forth their proof of what caused the universe, do it. If you can't provide proof, please tell me what you believe and what logic compells you to eliminate intelligent design.

No, we claimed victory because it WAS true. LOL. You are making an argument from ignorance, and then trying to shift the burden of proof - acting as if we are somehow obligated to give an account of things which modern science has yet to completely discover or understand. You are attempting to act as if we are on equal ground with you. WE-ARE-NOT. Why? Because you have made a positive claim about your deity, and the universe, and we have made no such positive claims - whether it be about a deity or about what we currently CALL the universe. The burden of proof is not on us, since we haven't made a claim. The burden is on you. You claimed (without defining it) that your deity exists "outside the universe" (whatever that means) and that it is "unknowable". Now please demonstrate how you know these things.
Lastly, it seems highly and outright disingenuous to say you are expressing "just your opinion". Do you always express "just" your opinion by saying "fuck off" or acting in this stringent abrasive/defensive fashion? Really, I don't care about "just" opinion. I care about what is actually true and demonstrable. Please stop trying to turn the tables (burden shifting) and tell us why you believe these assertions about your deity. Otherwise, please leave because it is a waste of time.
p.s. - Ya see that big sign up there ^^^^^?? That one that says, "Atheist Forums"??? You came into an atheist forum, knowing damn well that (at the very least) many of us are going to disagree with you, and yet (still) you refuse to take the questions you have been asked seriously. Why? Why come here at all if you're just going to dodge??
