Until you can PROVE God does not exist then you're working in the realm of faith my friend.

I may be crazy but if one claims the existence of something, the burden of proof is therefore on the claimant. YOU state something exists, YOU show me. I state something DOESN'T exist, how in the hell am I going to show THAT to you?!

A more illustrative example since I have a feeling you'll think me nuts...

Bob: "I believe man-eating papayas exist."
Joe: "I don't, as I've never seen such things."

Now, which guy would have to show evidence for his contention? This ain't rocket science!

Nice try, but I'd point out that it's the atheists that claim God does NOT exist, but then deny they have a faith based position. I'm willing to agree that I believe in God through faith, although I'd suggest there is plenty of evidence as well as logic that would support my belief. What is the support for the athiests belief? Nothing but faith that there is no God.

I state something DOESN'T exist, how in the hell am I going to show THAT to you?!

That's my question to you, you're the one making a statement you can't prove by your own admission. Therefore, atheism is an illogical and unsupportable view. Thanks for proving my point.

That is NOT how logic works.

If someone states God exists, the burden of proof is on them.

If someone states God does not exist, the burden of proof is on them also.

If you state something DOES NOT EXIST, you are practicing fallacious logic because one can never prove a negative therefore one can never say with certainty God does not exist. Atheism for the most part is very illogical.

Let me put it this way: religions understand they are a belief system and Atheists are in denial.

If you don’t like the rules of logic, take it up with Aristotle.
