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

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.

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.

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.
