The Burden of Proof

Equally Anti religious claims shoulder the same burden. IOW : STFU

No they don't. Read up on the philosophical burden of proof to appreciate that not all claims are equal; positive and negative ontological claims like for example Loch Ness Monster does exist or Loch Ness Monster does not exist, are asymmetrical. Whoever makes the positive claim has the greater burden of proof because he or she is seeking to add to our 'collective pool' of knowledge, while the refuter, who is merely arguing against the proposition, does not.

I'm pretty sure I demonstrated the burden of proof rests with the one making the claim in my original post. If he chooses to disagree, that is his option. Some people are so credulous that they hold on to religious dogma as if it were a rope in a tug of war. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink. However if you just get yourself called reverend you can lead them to South America and if you add kool-aid and arsenic they will drink it by the gallon.
