(August 9, 2010 at 5:16 pm)Edward the Theist Wrote: No, you're right. You don't have to define it to state you don't believe in it but that simply defines ignorance, doesn't it. Consider the statement: "God, I don't know what God is, but I don't believe in it." and compare it to, "God, I don't know what it is, but I believe in it." They both have the same level of ignorance associated with them.

You say you don't believe in God. Fine. Then I have every right to ask you what God is and you should be able to say.

It defines that you haven't defined god properly, end of. It's your shortcoming that you cannot make your case for god or gods Ed. Shifting the burden of proof over and over again is not going to make a convincing argument for your audience. We're done.
