Once you start making claims for or against an idea then you have stopped being agnostic (that strangely forgotten word) and have started to advocate a position. It's a dishonest bait-and-switch tactic to avoid the burden of proof.
Dishonest? Really Wooters? Dishonest? With a post such as the one here you have zero, let me repeat fucking ZERO, right to call atheists dishonest. You lying fuck.
I'm not even going to take the time out of my day to explain to you why you're being a dishonest piece of shit because you know why, and if you don't then you're a moron to boot.
No shit. And all the while, it is wrong of us to demand that people making positive god claims satisfy that burden of proof. It's extraordinarily, and 100% characteristically, dishonest.
