If theists understood "evidence"

[Minimalist]

We'd all be believers.  

As it is, believers confuse evidence for delusion.  

No surprise there.

What is it, that you think is not understood?

What YOU do not understand - intentionally, I suspect since you are not stupid - is that a bald assertion is not "evidence."  There's a line in an old book!  It must be true!  Unless it's a book written by someone you don't already worship. Homer writes that Poseidon blew Odysseus out to sea?  Well, that can't be true but if some unknown shlepper writes that "jesus" healed a cripple you fall on your face and insist THAT happened.  And worst of all, YOU don't get it and probably never will because your delusion is so willful.

"Evidence" must be examined.  That is where all religious bullshit fails.  Face value counts for exactly nothing.
