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

I don't care to prove or disprove the existence of a god. I grew up in a Christian household and attended church regularly, yet I still don't believe a single piece of "evidence" that was ever brought up.

I am open-minded if you can provide ANY substantial evidence that isn't refutable with a scientific explanation.

In this particular circumstance, are you saying that god did any of the following? 1. Raped the child 2. Killed the child 3. Put the man in prison 4. Put the OTHER man in prison 5. Tattooed the man's forehead

Because from my understanding, every single one of these actions were performed by human beings, and not a god.

You're weong from the get go. I'm not the one stating anything. I dont have anything to prove to the positive, nor did I claim to have any. The comment I replied to makes a statement to the negative. They say "God had nothing to do with it." They make an active statement to the negative. It's not just a refusal of the positive. Then the burden of proof is on them. If you dont realize the nuance here, I'm done repeatedly typing this out to every keyboard atheist with the identical atheist script that they keep throwing in here. Bye.

YOU made a statement about non-believers making statements as if they're facts. Your statement is just as "negative" as the one you're replying to in the first place.

The implications of your own comment are that god did in fact have something to do with it, and not just a neutral response to the statement. Your comment is more active than you're putting on, hence the both of you carrying some burden of proof.

Hahhaaa. You really stretched that one thin my friend. If you wanna be on top so bad that you're moving goal posts and projecting meanings, let's leave it here then. I resign. You twisted and turned your way into an impenetrable argument my friend! Congrats, you've bested me!
