Ad hoc hypothesis. You're shifting the goal posts.

Quote: in contrast, the tooth fairy is supposed to take all teeth as long as you put them under your pillow. one has a necessary obligation and the other doesn't.

There's no necessary obligation to the Tooth Fairy, either. What if something happens and she can't collect the teeth? Didn't you see Rise of the Guardians?

Quote:this is going around in a never ending circle... I realize you don't have a claim that God doesn't exist, but you've still claimed that such a proposition is more rational than saying "God exists." so nice try, you still can't avoid burden of proof.

It is more rational. Sorry, but that's life. I'm sorry you can't prove that your god exists, but that's not really my problem. It's more rational to not believe in something until some sort of evidence is shown for it to exist. It's certainly more rational than believing in everything anyone can imagine until it's possible to totally disprove it.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
