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

    “what can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence” QED

        I wasn’t arguing for the existence of god.

        Let me break this down:

        • “There is a god.” --> Burden of proof
        • “There is no god.” --> Burden of proof
        • “Hey, man. I don’t know.” —> No burden of proof

          The second one is wrong, there is no god is not a claim that requires evidence in the same way there are no fairies in my fridge doesn’t require evidence
