I'm betting that you won't.
Meanwhile, I'd appreciate it if you would show an example of exactly how you "attempted to show that their reasons were not good ones" while lacking a belief since the example I gave is one that I'm certain never occurred on this board before. (It does show how good I am at guessing though.) Or perhaps you have a link. Should there be several different examples? If you have no examples of your own, wouldn't you be the liar here?
I would also appreciate you admitting that when I was taught in school who has the burden of proof that it was a good school.
For the benefit of any others here, I will note that what has happened most often in these cases is that atheists and theists have disagreed more on the definition of a god than the existence of one. That is something else I said several years ago. Atheists find it easy to assert that a god who gives anyone who asks a million dollars does not exist, but that is not the god any theists (that I know) believe in. They know it's more complicated than that. Do I exaggerate? For clarity I do, but there is the point. The difference is over the definition of a god, not its existence. The "logic" of atheists is more of a failure to gather any meaning.
Notice that when confronted with three concepts of a god in the linked article that have been made somewhat immune to such misinterpretation the atheists are silent.
I am not your foe, @graham , but I fear that clear thinking and writing are.
