So admitting you have no evidence means we should be satisfied with anything you claim from now on? Did it ever occur to you the reason you don't have any evidence is because god does not exist and like you said you merely chose"to believe it?
"I like it" and "It feels right" and "faith" and "tradition" are not good reasons, they are merely mental placebos. The ancient Egyptians falsely believed the sun was a god for 3,000 years and I am sure it "felt right" and was a tradition for that long.
Think of all the other religions and god claims you reject. They have no evidence either and they also chose to believe what they believe. HOW, not what do you believe, BUT HOW do you know you are not making the same mistake in logic?
