I vote he should henceforth be known as "bereft."
And we are now taking bets on how long before he finds himself banned.

Someone who likes to avoid the burden of proof. The you claim it, you prove it rule.
Also, I bet he can't answer on how we are born with belief in god. I certainly don't remember starting life as a Christian or a Muslim. I had to be told about this idiot idea of some god thing creating everything out of nothing.
We are born atheist. Many turn deluded, either by parents or society. Even from one's self even. I never could buy into all that religious shit.

Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.

I don't have to prove anything to you. There are no consequences if I don't, and I'm not in the dock so I don't have to prove anything. There's no burden of proof on me. If there were, I'd be in jail. But I'm not. Tough, live with it.

You're not making much sense mate. In fact, a 5 year old could make more sense than you.
Of course you don't HAVE to prove it, but when you make a claim it is expected that you should at least support it with something. I don't have to prove or disprove anything and plus it's not expected for an atheist to do so either.
Theists do the claiming, they do the proving. The burden is on you to prove it, not on us to disprove it.
You claim there is a god, we as atheists respond by saying "I don't believe in god". Couldn't be more simple.
I don't think you'll be on here for much longer.

It doesn't say anything about that in the rules. I think it's perfectly possible for me to claim whatever I please and not prove it, yet still remain here. Why would you think otherwise, when the rules makes no mention of any of this?
