Yeah, I wanna bet. So...how much; how do we decide it; and how could I possibly suppose someone like you would pay off when you lose?

Maybe this kind of debate is not for you.I made no claim that there are no gods. There might be. So far, none have turned up in all of human history. Not a single one. Maybe there is one or ten out there somewhere. If so, they are surprisingly coy. Are they all engaged in some eternal game of hide and seek?
Many theists before you have tried this gambit. It always fails.
Go ahead, follow your playbook handed to you by your priests. See how many give a shit.
Try not to tell others how bloody "nice" you have been.
2) I have no idea if there are any gods...or what the gods may be like. For you to suppose none have turned up is just a guess...because YOU DO NOT KNOW IF THERE ARE ANY GODS OR HOW THEY WOULD "TURN UP" IF THEY DID "TURN UP."
3) I am not a theist...and I doubt your "it always fails" as much as I doubt your fantasy that the entire Internet thinks I am a prick.
4) I have no playbook that has been handed me by any priests, I just am not an atheist...and since you are an example of what atheists are like, I never want to be one.
5) You be sure not to tell others how bloody "nice" you have been, because there is no way you are even civil.
Anything else, genius?

I thought you said that you were withdrawing this claim (see below). Were you lying when you said that?

I withdraw it...and acknowledge that I was wrong to make it. You are correct that the burden falls on me...not you as a refuter. I was wrong...you and the others who mentioned this are correct.
My bad. I apologize.

Are you going to give me an answer, Frank?
Sure..."yes", "no", "maybe", "3.141,592,634, 589..."
Fit 'em in wherever you've got room. Careful of your head.
