Careful, many online atheists don’t understand that they have to prove a negative. That they have to prove the assertion: “There is no god.”

The default position is that there is yet insufficient evidence to draw a conclusion.

Edit: Thank you for the downvotes, you have provided me with further evidence that online atheists don’t understand that they have to prove a negative. Your butthurt fuels me.

You have made the assertion, thus you have the burden of proof.

Are you implying that a negative categorically cannot be proven?

Edit: I have since disavowed this instance

Ok, just verifying that that fallacy wasn’t the crux of your argument
