You claim the burden of proof belongs to the person making the claim so now follow your own maxim the one you love so much and PROVE YOUR CLAIM. let me see proof and not conjecture, assumptions and bias.Mark.
You've been told a million times how the philosophical burden of proof works in an epistemic dispute.
You can repeat yourself until you're blue in the face, or the mods kick you out.
So here are your only options at this point:
Either prove your god exists, or fuck off.
So what you are saying is if someone tells me something often enough I should believe it.. or if two people are telling me 2 opposite things I should believe unquestioning the person that tells me most often.

I'm not sure who or what you are referring to please explain.
