>>2998872>they say this because they're under the impression that they're position is a negative position, and that only people asserting positive positions have to prove their assertions. That's so stupid. They're still making a claim. The atheist fails to realize that it doesn't matter if you're saying x is true or if you're saying x is not true, you're still making a claim either way. The burden is on the claimant so if they don't want to carry such a burden then they better not make such claims.
