'Prove claims' question.
#7
RE: 'Prove claims' question.
The burden of proof is on the one making the claim, we all know it well. Some like daystar try to reverse it, which would never work since you cannot dis-prove a negative. You can't bring evidence against something that does not exist. You could challenge it if there was evidence since it would require us to look into it and try to bring evidence for the contrary.

I once looked into the possibility of a god but not through my up bringing or my regional religion.

I looked into ALL religions and I noticed they all say the same thing. Follow or go to hell. Not one would say you don't have to follow just as longs as you are moral. Also the other thing they all have in common is that they all make the claim of an all powerful being and that no one can prove it. Not one religion in this world has ever managed to bring evidence. Not one theist throughout mankind's entire history has ever managed to bring any kind of evidence. Throughout all those many thousands of years and many millions of theists and none of them has ever brought anything forward as evidence. This tells me that all religions/gods are false due to such a lack of evidence. It was because of this that I turned atheist at an early age and remained so until I see some evidence. I shall keep an open mind to the possibility but have already dismissed it.

Online is the only time I ever speak of religion/god. Outside this Internet there is no such word as "god". I don't even acknowledge religion in anyway outside this pc. I have no reason to. It would be like acknowledging santas house with all the little elves and that they exist even though there is no evidence to say they do. So I ignore religion entirely.

The burden of proof is on the one making the claim. Daystar, don't forget that.Wink
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.

Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.

You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
