GUEST,josep BS: True Test of an Atheist (834* d) RE: BS: True Test of an Atheist 11 Oct 10


///Rather reminiscent of Josep's debating style. On the God Delusion thread, he followed one of his bizarre pronouncements with -
I'm afraid I must DEMAND to be disproven not just dismissed.
Sorry, both of you, but the burden of proof is on you.///

On the other thread I presented an argument which was my logical proof. I wasn't making a claim. A claim has the burden of proof. I offered an argument and therefore was justified in requesting a counterargument. If all you say is, "You're wrong" then you are now making a claim and have the burden of proof. And remember, logical proof not empirical evidence--just a counterargument to the argument I had offered was all I wanted. No one offered such a counterargument and if I was so obviously wrong in their eyes then why couldn't they offer one? Likewise if my "pronouncements" were so "bizarre" why couldn't you then show me logically why they were unworkable? I'll be more than happy to go over that argument with you again point by point if you feel I shortchanged you in any way but I believe I answered everybody who posed opposing views.
