If you tell me about leprechauns and how you hope to find a pot of gold someday, and I tell you "that's just asinine, go away". Do I then owe you a proof for the nonexistence of leprechauns, or is the fact there isn't a shred of evidence to support the case for leprechauns, combined with the fact that leprechauns don't make any sense enough evidence to conclude they don't exist?
How many of you aleprechaunists feel you owe some nutjob who believes in leprechauns such a disproof?

No, the question is not about god, it's about leprechauns.

Lack of evidence DOES equal evidence. Courts use such a standard all the time.

Dude - c'mon. Don't leave out a critical piece of evidence.
Rainbows exist.
Everyone knows there is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
Everyone knows that a leprechaun is guarding each pot of gold.
Just because no one has reached the end of the rainbow and discovered said pot of gold doesn't mean it's not there.
It is.
And a leprechaun is guarding it.
Geez.
But no, you don't owe me any proof that they don't exist.
I won't mess with your right to not believe in leprechauns if you don't believe in my right to believe.
We could discuss this further over a pint of ale, but you won't be getting none of me Lucky Charms, that's for dang sure.

You owe me proof! I have a leprechaun invasion in my house. They are everywhere! They don't clean up after themselves and the little pots? Well let's just say they are NOT GOLD! Give me proof now so I can make them go away!

I believe the burden of proof falls on the party that feels leprechauns do exist. The matter is otherwise considered 'innocent' (or fictional) and, by the definition of 'burden of proof', it is the prosecuting parties obligation to provide the proof.
Tell your friend he is a whack job and that lep's do not exist (only short people who drink too much).

Nope,Leprechauns are real.They came about because an evil woodworker laced some milk with an evil potion,and the fairies drank it.That is where the Leprechaun came from.

Leprechauns are discreet. I don't need evidence, any more than I need evidence that there is intelligence int he White House. Both can be equally disproven.

Oh, but doncha feel so bad for them when they come to you with their earnest li'l faces and beg you to prove their Great Leprechaun doesn't exist?
-- I'm guessing that would be a "no" on your part?

My leprechaun says you are a liar and a heretic. I have to go now. My leprechaun told me to burn things.

Is my missing box of Lucky Charms proof they do exist?

Lack of evidence does not constitute evidence.
