45. Where did I ask you to explain your "understanding of god"?
I didn't, and I'm not sure why I would. Don't lump me in with other posters with whom you may have a past disagreement. I was being serious when I pointed out the errors in your post.

If I told you that I believed that giant red elephants lived on Mars, would that make them real? Even though they're only in my imagination? If you believe me, you shouldn't - the burden of proof that the giant red elephants exists sits squarely with me because I made the claim. That would require me to find evidence and bring it to your attention. If I can't do so, then it's not your responsibility to disprove my claim (and would be impossible to do). Until I can provide proof, the default position is that the giant red elephants don't exist.
