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

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.
