Here, I explore philosophic burden of proof and how it pertains to my atheism. I apologise for the "shouty" tone of this episode. I failed to curb my frustration and exasperation of the, "But you can't disprove God," apologetic. But these emotions are not unjustified, I think. This is an important topic and many people are either ignorant about it, or dishonest.

Special mention: My thoughts on the topic is very much informed by the opinions of Matt Dillahunty.

Special mention: I borrow Matt Dillahunty's gumball analogy.
