Devils, demons and gods don't exist.

Additional_Goose_556:
Devils, demons and gods don't exist.
How do you know this?
------------------------------------------------------------
Redditor7:
So you have any evidence for their existence?

You ignored my question. Now it is fair for me to ignore your questions.
Perhaps ignoring and flipping the pressure is what you do when you're asked to support a baseless claim.

Well I'm not the one making the claim that the fore mentioned figments of the imagination are true. The burden of proof lies with the believer. To answer your question, I know this because there is no evidence. That is why I asked you, what is your evidence........ but I already knew you have none.

So you know it is false by a lack of evidence.
You are appealing to ignorance. That is an informal logical fallacy. Something isn't false just because it hasn't been proven true to you.
Appeal to Ignorance: Argument from ignorance, also known as appeal to ignorance, is a fallacy in informal logic. It asserts that a proposition is true because it has not yet been proven false or a proposition is false because it has not yet been proven true.
This burden of proof system of yours is very odd and works in favor of people who like appealing to ignorance in the way you did.
Want to hear mine? The burden of proof is equally on everyone who makes a claim.
The burden of proof lies with the believer.
You are the believer that specifically believes "God doesn't exist". You claimed it, so the burden of proof is on you, believer.
Also, you don't believe figments of the imagination are true?
