Description

why not. I saw CalebEr's argument but I think there's a better way to argue this.

Debate Format:
Round One: Introduction and Arguments
Round Two: Rebuttals
Round Three: Recapitulation and Conclusion

Definitions:
Atheism- "a lack of belief or a strong disbelief in the existence of a god or any gods"
The burden of Proof- "the duty of proving a disputed assertion or charge"
(Both definitions from Merriam Webster)

Full resolution
Atheists have a burden of proof with regards to showing god does not exist.

Oooh, sounds like a good time, lol. I'll challenge him after I have my argument written for our debate.

@Theweakeredge

Please debate tradesecret on this topic. I've given it my best go to persuade him on forums but my efforts have been without result. It'll be a funny one to watch.

Btw, I only had like 15 characters left, so I really milked that space for all it was worth.
