The Historical Reliability of the New Testament

Yet another theist asshole coming here and telling us what we believe and what our claims are.

Let me clarify the predominant atheist position for you Randy. You (theists) claim there is a gawd. We (atheists) say "prove it." Until you can, we have no reason to believe it. Saying you do not believe in something is not a positive claim that said thing does not exist, no matter how many straw men you build.

Very few make the claim "there is no god" (although I'll bet you do in relation to any god claim other than buy-bull gawd). It is sufficient to merely dismiss the idea based on the lack of evidence. Until and unless you present that evidence you have failed to satisfy the burden. That in no way entitles you to shift it to those not making a claim!
