The burden of proof is on you, the one making the positive claim.

Or, put another way, you have no proof that there isn't an invisible pink unicorn in my garage right now. Ergo, there is. Your claim is equally vacuous and without merit.

Evidence, or fuck off.

We don't need evidence to prove that. Look up burden of proof.

Then we have nothing to discuss. You cannot demonstrate your evidence, we cannot examine it. You're done.

Also look up non-sequitur.

I repeat, how very open minded of you. As for the rest, what makes you think there is a purpose beyond that which we make ourselves? So we are 'just' flesh and bones etc. Why should that be a bad thing? It just gives us the incentive to be the best humans we can be, in order that our little lives are remembered by those we leave behind.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

If we are just flesh and bones? You wouldn't look at it that way if you had a proper understanding of how amazing it is that we are even here to debate this. You have the belief that it was easy that we're here because your god did it.

The truth, whether you believe it or not is that it's extraordinarily improbable that we are here. The way we got here is astounding, and gods weren't needed to make it happen, they were only needed to explain what our primitive species couldn't understand. Now that we understand it, if you xtians want to persist in your fairy tale nonsense, that's fine.. but when you come here acting like you've got some major and awesome challenge for atheists, what it shows me (as a real person of psychology) is that your faith is so weak and unstable that you can't feel sure about it, unless you're proactively trying to convince (us) yourself that the silliness you believe is true.

So I think the obvious question here:

Who are you trying to convince, really? Us or yourself?

I pray that you find some sense of honesty or integrity. Wotan is knowledge.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom.

I do not look at it that way. I never said I did. I said what purpose would your argument serve if that's all we are?

I don't need to convince anyone, it sounds like you are having a good time trying to convince me though of your viewpoints.

One of my errors was in the definition of 'confess' clarified at the above website for those who care to explore it.
