Why atheism always has a burden of proof

Don't think this stuff was all "made up" it's human life in reality for real.

So that's the sickness, but here is the cure!

This sounds a lot like preaching to me.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.

I would think the burden of proof lay in those who believe a book of stories, gathered during the bronze age, made up of mostly older myths would bear a far heavier burden.
If you have to lie to bolster your argument, it’s time to rethink the validity of the argument.

That wasn't the question.
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.'

Finally! An excuse to get rid of this lunatic!
Only joking SoC is fun to ridicule
'The more I learn about people the more I like my dog'- Mark Twain

'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House

“Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom

"If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit." - Pope Francis on freedom of speech
