Stories like the Flood story or Creation are a valid exception, since we don't even have second hand witnesses. The rest you have to prove false. Otherwise you are just slandering or libelling people with no accountability yourself, and without them being able to answer you.
I'm thinking you should read up a little more on the burden of proof before trying to lecture others on the rules of logic and what they must prove. He specifically said, "Christianity fails to substantiate even the most basic of it's[sic] claims." Nowhere did he claim the bible writers are liars, so your insistence that he prove that is worthless and empty.
No one has to prove any of Christianity false when it has failed to demonstrate one iota that it is true. Claiming he is committing libel when he has clearly done no such thing is simply an attempt to discredit his statement and is, quite frankly, bullshit.
