That's what I've been saying, too. Thank you for also seeing this and responding.
I'll say it again: The atheist position is that he/she doesn't believe in any gods, and claiming that this stance is irrational and carries a burden of proof is just shifting the burden of proof from the theists.
It's intellectually dishonest and illogical. And, I suspect, is done because the theists never have any actual evidence to support their claims. From all of AKD's claims here I've never once seen him offer anything, not even an argument as evidence that his god exists. He just keeps trying to tear down the atheist position, when there's not really any position to tear down other than, "Oh yeah? Prove it."
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
