Atheists... why do you believe that God doesn't exist?

[Chas]

I totally understand your frustration chas.

I made the statement in another thread that atheists here make sure everyone understands that atheism is a lack of belief, and they called me a liar and demanded I make a poll.

The whole "atheism is simply a lack of belief" card turns out to be a lie the minute atheists start to defend their lack of belief by giving reasons for it. 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.

Horseshit.
I am making no claim, therefore I have no burden of proof.

The only reason given is that there is no evidence for your claim. The one for which you bear the burden of proof.
