Does the burden of proof regarding God lie on the person who says that he exists or the person who says that he doesn't exist?

I remember muhammad went to a wall sort of looked like that wall when he created some of the lies about islam

the first line of the hebrew bible was originally made by a male who was standing up facing a wall and it was oral at first though not written

he was like facing a wall standing right in front of it like right in his face and he thought of the line it came to him in his head while he was staring at the wall.

Christianity is all true but Islam is fabricated.

Wow OP and these comments are retarded. The burden of proof lies on anyone making any sort of claim, it doesn’t matter who made the claim first, it doesn’t matter which claim is harder to prove, there is no fundamental hierarchy of claims here. This is a common misunderstanding of the low iq, low T neckbeard Russel’s Teapot thought experiment.

If you say God exists, it would be correct for me to ask for proof. It wouldn’t be correct for me to say “God doesn’t exist WAAAA WAAAA you didn’t prove your claim therefore he doesn’t exist!!”

>> No.11218962

Nope. Ever heard of, "I think, therefore I am" Burden of proof of existence relies on the subject in question.

you can prove a negative, it’s been done. Just because a claim is negative does not mean it’s immune from the burden of proof.

Holy fuck this board has gotten even more retarded, I didn't think that was possible. You do realize that Descartes made that statement for the sole purpose of proving God exists, right? Discourse on the Method is an ontological proof for the existence of God. Also you have no idea what that statement means clearly. Moreover, you are dumb as fuck and should kill yourself as soon as possible. Pic related.

The only position free from burden of proof is an agnostic i.e stating that they don't know. Atheists and theists must prove that their is/isn't a God, if not then their positions are acts of faith.

>> No.11219007

>>11218995
But, it is rational to behave as if there is no God when no evidence of God has been presented. And to refuse to change one's behavior based on the taboos of God-fearing people. It is just not rational to proselytizer about there not being a God.

>> No.11219018

>>11218703
It's either "He exists" or "I have not seen proof he exists, therefore I do not believe he exists". That means proof must come from the person stating he exists as there's nothing to prove regarding not believing.

>>11219018
>I have not seen proof he exists, therefore I do not believe he exists
You've been conditioned to think this is syllogism but it isn't. Going from "have not seen proof he exists" to "I do not believe he exists" is an illogical leap of faith. If someone says "God exists" you are correct here to ask them to prove it, of course, but you are not correct in then taking the negative stance.

>> No.11219044

>>11219007
>no evidence of

Theist could give you plenty of "evidence" that God exists as well as dismiss "evidence" of a lack of God ( as an atheist would dismiss theist). evidence). What would be considered the most rational behavior depends on person and circumstance.

>Claiming that it is impossible to prove a negative is a pseudologic, because there are many proofs that substantiate negative claims in mathematics, science, and economics, including Arrow's impossibility theorem.
Do you want me to wipe your ass for you too?

>>11219076
Are you actually a braindead? Do you not understand basic philosophical terminology yet you’re quoting Descartes? Please educate yourself retard. Ontological arguments are those trying to prove the existence of God from reason. This is precisely what Descartes was trying to do. Discourse on the Method is short enough that you can read it in a couple hours. Please do so before embarrassing yourself yet again, dumbfuck.
