why are people still fighting over religion?

using 1st grader logic, it is easy to see that the burden of proof falls solely on the religious people. why? the people making the claim that something exists must prove that it does, in fact, exist. it is not other people's job to disprove every ridiculous claim that xyz is real.
example:
There is an invisible monkey on your shoulder.
It would be my job to prove that such a monkey exists. It would be unreasonable to expect you to show me that the monkey does not exist. so if no definitive proof can be established, then we would default to the negative, concluding that no such monkey exists until further proof can be given.
if I write a book and say "an invisible monkey is on your shoulder", does that make it true? no.
if I swear on this book that there is an invisible monkey on your shoulder, does that make it true? no.
if I get a lot of people to say "there is an invisible monkey on your shoulder", does that make it true? no.
if I say "there is an invisible monkey on your shoulder" repeatedly, does that make it true? no.

so you see, there is no need to argue over religion. until the religious people can provide definitive proof, we must conclude that such a deity does not exist.

there won't be anymore religion in the New World.

Sirian (UFOs) have stepped up to the plate to kick off Serpents from the face of the Earth.
