Notice I did not say the opposing view is that testimony is sufficient--because no one really holds that position.
Well, I've supplied evidence for my stance. Perhaps you could do the same? Not a logical argument as you so love to do, but actual evidence.
If one of these 'good reasons' is because there's no other evidence, someone better get tasered right between the eyes for that bullshit.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?
