Burden of proof is relative. It is relative to whomever is setting the bar, or defining the terms of what constitutes sufficient or necessary proof/evidence. One person's threshold or definition very well could differ from that of another individuals. It is opinion at best set by the person choosing to accept or receive the evidence as sufficient or not.

I won't pretend to know anything about the FSM. I do however personally know many individuals who cite the world's calamities, violence, hunger, war, rape or their own personal trials and burdens as evidence that no God exists. They say if he did exist such tragedies would not occur, and since they do, their burden of proof has been met. They choose the bar by which they define the existence of God, which is their prerogative. I choose a different standard.
