    You don’t prove a negative.

    Did not say you weren't, just asking for verification of your statement.

    As are quite a few of the posts in support of your stated position.

    You Support the invisible man in the sky .....verify it
    I am sitting next to a pink elephant today and he’s taking up half the couch and it’s so annoying. Why don’t you believe me?

    This question is stupid. How does an athiest blame god for anything? Sounds like the start of a bar joke.

    Religion and God can be understood separately.

    An atheist and god go into a bar and god says that he is buying. Bartender looks at the atheist and asks him what is the name of his imaginary friend?

    Just a quick question for you. Why do you claim that I support the invisible man in the sky? Have you never read any of my posts on the subject, even the ones you "liked"?

    If you want to make false accusations try some that are not that easy to prove wrong.

    That’s why I’m confused. Why do you support that people should have to prove a negative?

    I don't support those people. I also don't support those who make positive statements about this.

    Any confusion on your part is just that, on you.

    No, as I have said before, I don't care if there is or is not a god.

    If you want to believe in unicorns, fine. Don't care.

    I am beginning to think that we might be saying the same thing.

    When Samuel Beckett was asked about God, he replied:

    "The bastard! He doesn't exist."

    It would seem too many people confuse this "God" thingy with its worshippers.

    See my post 442.

    I interpret that as Beckett hating God because he doesn't exist.

    And then there is the suggestion that some atheists hate God so much they deny His existence. They hate the very idea of God.

    That’s a new one. I hate rapists so much that I’m going to deny they exist

    Certain progressives hate white people so much they deny white people exist.

    Are you talking about Beckett the playwright?

    Perhaps, but coming to it from different directions.

    And you interpret that as hate? It says more about you than anything else you have posted.

    Or, it could be because an atheist simplly does not believe in this gods existence, as has been repeated at length. Comprehension could be your friend, if you tried it.
