I’m just your average Canadian wolf. I’m a siren enthusiast and railfan as my main hobbies. I run the Civil Defense Sirens Wiki, and am working on restoring a few vintage sirens (such as a FS&S Model L and a rare Sterling Siren MOD. F) as well as a 1970s Safetran mechanical crossing bell.

  • I am not going to prove anything to you because you are trying to distract from the original argument and shift the burden of proof onto me. You don’t understand what an extraordinary claim is, as the difference between claiming a historical figure existing and claiming the existence of an omniscient, omnipotent, invisible being is rather significant. The burden of proof is not mine, as you are the one claiming the latter exists and preaching to others.



  • Unlike God, Napoleon Bonaparte is proven to exist and there is both physical and historical evidence and context to prove he did. There is no such evidence for a god, only contradictory stories made 2000 years ago by some dudes in the Middle East. There is as much reason to believe in Zeus or Aphrodite as there is to believe in the Christian god, which is none.

    The burden of proof of God’s existence is on those who claim he does, and to this day nobody has been able to provide any beyond the usual “Oh look at the treeeeeeeees, maaaan!” argument or quoting something from the Bible. My standard of evidence is no different than most other atheists, and God has failed to prove himself to anyone who wasn’t already indoctrinated into a church as a child before developing critical thinking skills. Almost like the whole thing was just a scam to control people and take their money all along.


  • That might make sense to you, but to an atheist that’s just an unconvincing word salad. It doesn’t actually mean anything and doesn’t prove the existence of a God or gods. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, and if a god is as omnipotent and omniscient as Christians claim him to be, then he should know exactly what all of our standards of proof are and be able to meet that. If not, then it’s fundamentally indistinguishable between him existing or not because it makes absolutely no difference.








  • An old Ukrainian woman gave a bunch of the Russian occupiers sunflower seeds early in the war, telling them to put it in their pocket so that when the Russians inevitably got killed, sunflowers would grow from their corpse. A way of saying that all they’ll be good for is being fertilizer for Ukraine’s many beautiful sunflowers.
