[Offering to the non-existant line muncher]

	I think that in any discussions of this sort, the burden of proof
must be on the Theists. Non-Thiests simply say that they do not think that
god exists because they have no evidence that cannot easily be otherwise
explained. If Theists wish us to believe that there is a god, they must give
us some proof of this proposition. Sorry, but the following chains of 
reasoning are not good enough:

	1)	"I believe in God because the Bible says so."
		"I believe in the Bible because God says so."

	2) 	"I believe in God because he changed my life."
		"God changed my life because I believe in Him"

Please attempt to give answers that offer logical proof.
