Well, after giving it a second thought...yes, it is exactly the same.

No, I don't. It can't be any worst than an adult believing in Santa, right?
Wrong, it just proves how simple you consider the nature of reality. REAL_IT_Y?

Well, you could start by comparing panentheism to santa.

I'm not interested in categorising Santa, as long as he fills my stocking, that's all I care about.

Do you consider us to be close enough for you to expect that I would tell you what I wear?

Give me your mobile phone for analysis, i'm sure i can prove you do not.

Your turn, prove God does not exist...Chaz.
Prove is not required for non existence; only existence. The burden of proof is on you. What the fuck do you mean by "god" anyway?

Since 1997 I have had God's existence proved to me. Panantheism appears the closest glove that fits, coupled with the existence of Christ. The burden of prove does not lie with anyone such as myself to convince an atheist with 'proof' that God exists, since they are the unfortunate simpletons on the equation of the DOUBT that God has insisted pervades. One should then consider - why all the DOUBT? There is a reason for it, and it is NOT because God does not exist.

No, that just proves that we have different definitions of simplicity. Believing in an invisible man in the sky shows the same simplicity of mind than believing in the visible man with reindeer in the sky.

By 1989 I have had god's existence unproved to me. So I beat you for at least 8 years.

No, it only proves you were deceived.

No there was no 'invisible man' in the sky - that is the massive fallacy of it all.

That sort of reasoning may work for another theist who already accepts your claim, but that's not how the 'burden of proof' works, and what it attempts to do in philosophical discussion; This is quite simply, the most basic example of shifting the burden of proof. It's not so much about the implausibility of the claim itself, but the implausibility of the claim to the person you're talking to. The onus is on whoever is making an unaccepted claim. If I specifically claim that god specifically does not exist, the burden is on me. If you claim that god exists, the burden of proof is on you.

If you make a claim and then proceed to provide an argument, if I claim that your argument is wrong - the burden of proof is on me to disprove your argument.

I am no longer going to bother attempting to prove to short sighted atheists of 'Gods' existence - i have been here for 8 years with quite strong arguments with my claim - and never has an atheist been able to refute my claims, and I no longer have the patience or the time to bother.

I shall leave you with this, that a sage that communicated to me from the aether in 2005 taught me - my website - Beyond Reasonable Doubt
www.androcies.com

...and may i add - God - uses its own 'technology' akin to A.I. to know everything about our lives.

You don't need to, you just need to bother understanding how basic philosophical debate works.

Maybe you just misunderstand their refutations?

Your website looks like some deep web propaganda site.
