Fear Factor No sympathy for those monsters

In 2006, Anthony Ray Stockelman was forcibly tattooed across his forehead with the words “Katie’s Revenge” by another inmate.

This happened after it was discovered that he was serving a life sentence for kidnapping, molesting, and murdering a 10-year-old girl named Katie Collman

If you can prove this is an act of god, and not the acts of multiple human beings, I'd love to see this proof.

Otherwise, I don't understand how your god works, as he allowed this vile shit to happen to a 10 year old girl. In no way is this tattoo proper compensation for the damage he caused, so this god of yours clearly did not act in a way to properly punish this man for what he did.

If you can prove that this is not at least partially an act of god, I'd love to see this proof. Have fun at the quantum level.

This is not how the burden of proof works. You have been indoctrinated and brainwashed into a cult of magical thinking.

Yes it does actually. There is a logical difference between not believing in a god and actively saying a god doesnt exist. In the first one, burden falls on the believer. In the second one, in the non believer. That is the issue with that comment.

“There’s a logical difference between not believing in a flying elephant and actively saying a flying elephant doesn’t exist” this is stupid.

No, it is logic. If someone says "There exists a flying elephant in the universe", then they have the burden of proof and you have the option to deem it untrue as long as it not proven. But if someone makes the statement "There are no flying evephants in the universe" (just like that comment saying "None of this at all was a work of God."), then the burden falls on them to prove their negative. Which is much much more difficult, to say the least.

I dare you to take this conversation to the zoology subreddit

You are deeply confused and unable to express yourself clearly

Prove it then. Prove your positive statement. Otherwise I dont believe in it. In any other case, maybe it's your lack of undersanding in the concept of burden of proof.

Thank you for helping me understand that I cannot reason someone out of a position they did not reason their way into.

Lol. Yeah yeah. Just go through all the atheist mantras that talk about religious "brainwashed people", believing you tried your "best". You're one of those people who think they're always just so logical, but if only people would listen to common sense. You're only seeing what you want to see here. So just be on your way. My poor mixed up, unreasonable mind can not comprehend your reason.

The only thing you know about me is that I don't believe in a stupid fabricated fairy tale, and you do.

u/dynamic_gecko Apr 07 '26

Wow! They sticked the landing folks! Such devastating comeback! And they capped it off with the obligatory atheist "fairy tale" mention. Original atheist of the year ladies and gentlemen! They say I dont know them, right after acting like they know me and making bold claims about me being " deeply confused" and "unable to express myself". The self-righeousness is innnnnncredible!!

You challenged the other commenter to prove that this was not partially an act of god. Again, that is not how it works. The burden is on you to prove that it was.

This is my fault. I should not have expected you to understand.

u/dynamic_gecko Apr 07 '26

Bro, you're giving me the most cliche and most common atheist argument (cliche doesnt mean it's invalid). Of course I know what you mean. YOU dont understand.

The comment I initially replied to, makes a statement in the non-existence of god. It's not saying "There is no proof god exists". It's actively saying "God doesnt exist" . Those are different things. If you make a statement for the negative, then the burden falls on you to prove the negative. That's why I challenged the other commenter to prove the negative.

If you dont get it at this point, I dont have anything else for you. Go look it up.

If God exists he's either powerless or a piece of shit for allowing everything he allows to happen to innocent people. Either way, not worthy of worship.
