If I can see the coding, I can properly edit.  Otherwise, classic quote formatting is a total pain the ass for me.

Thank you....
What check box. I don see edit options.

How many times have we gone over the evidence for god(s) and always found it lacking. The reason I've found it lacking always comes down to no actual evidence, only assertion, testimony, argument and debate. Nothing concrete has ever been provided, and Ybe is no different. And I'm not surprised, man made god(s) as a mental crutch.
As long as you realize none of you are providing evidence but just a testimony of your claim of why it's reasonable to be Atheist, then ok.

While Atheists agree, Theists will disagree, and you aren't providing evidence.

Thought I fixed it yesterday, but it seems it keeps wanting to go bonkers on my PC every time I come home after using my phone all day. 

Unchecking "Display posts in classic mode" was supposed to fix it, but I guess not.

Burden of proof is on the individual making the assertion/statement. 

I made the assertion that man made god. My evidence is that men wrote the bible, the quran, the book of mormon, ............

If there is a burden proof of the person making the claim, then there is a burden for the people to listen.

And if they are going to dismiss the evidence presented or argument, then, they ought to show good reasons themselves and the minimum of that is show proper understanding to the argument.

All OP is asking you to do is show the evidence that "the burdened with proof" are expected to show, and analyze why you think it's all wrong, and that your analysis as opposed to Theists, shows the evidence is false.

I'm admitting that people believe in a god. I'm stating that I don't believe in that god, therefore atheist. You asked for a logical reason, I provided it. 

People that like god are people that need a mental crutch to get through life.

I'm sorry I don't see a logical reasonable reason in what you said perhaps you can say it again as it really isn't clear to me what your logical reason is.  I know it is something
If B type G, then I am an A

But that assumes G not (not assumes G).
Stating I don't believe in that G only states there is a G that I do not believe in.
Sorry. I am trying to get your reason.

Which part have I not listened to?

The OP has offered no proof except the bible (testimony) and some math which is only a poor argument. If he wants to supply new evidence, evidence I have not heard previously, then he can have at it.

JFC MK, how many pages did it take for him to understand only one of the reasons I didn't believe.

This guy is a clown, I'd kinda thought you got that.

Not really, it's sad it takes this long for you guys to understand, what you are providing is testimony and you haven't shown evidence that there is no evidence, you claimed it, but have not shown it.

Can't prove a negative. I've rejected all evidence provided, that's about the best I can do.

Not "good".  Simply honest.  I don't believe that gods exist, just like I don't believe that leprechauns exist.
