Ask a Traditional Catholic

[Randy Carson]

Exactly. Which is why I don't go to unicorn forums, Jenny. I don't want to have to get into all that in order to prove my point of view. (Especially since I am agnostic about Nessie!). However, I have been to the City of Atlanta (note the avatar).

In return, I expect that anyone who waltzes into a Christianity subforum (even in an Atheist Forum) and says, "God does not exist" has assumed the burden of proof. That's simply how debates are structured. I didn't make that rule.

Who is it that claims he can prove god doesn't exist?  The burden of proof is always on the positive claim, no matter who is making the claim.  Unless, and until someone proves: unicorns, Nessie, or the City of Atlantis (Atlanta I've visiting soon), or god, I see no reason to believe in any of them.

Very clever, Jenny. But I am becoming wise to the way the word games are played in this forum. In post 295, Nope said there is no God. That is a positive claim. But you know she never claimed to be able to prove it, so you asked the question in such a way as to make it look like no evidence is required. Very, very clever.
 

Jenny, are you seriously suggesting that the evidence for the historical Jesus is on par with the evidence for pots of gold or unicorns?

Nope.  There's evidence for the historical Jesus' existence,  just not for his divinity, and precious little for most of his bio.  And no real evidence for Yahweh or the spirit divine or otherwise.

As you also know, there IS evidence for the resurrection which would support Jesus' claims of divinity.

So, it's not that there is NO evidence...just none that you are willing to accept for reasons known only to yourself.
