"Her."

The FSM is a goddess.

As someone who is an ordained minister with the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, I can confirm this. As one of our core tenants is to embrace contradictions, I can also tell you that she blesses people with marinara sauce that is transdimensional. So you cannot see it as it is beyond space and time and our understanding of current physical understandings of marinara sauce that you can taste. This marinara is actually tasted by your spirit. If your reach out to her, she will bless you with the marinara sauce of the noodly trinity of the pasta, the sauce and the holy meatballs.

The nonbeliever cannot disprove this. Therefore, they must justify their belief of lacking belief that this is the case. Lest they be religious of failing to do so.

It doesn't even matter if we know what evidence would be compelling. According to them, their gawd is all knowing and all powerful. If that were the case, it would know exactly what evidence it would take and exactly how to present it without violating our "free will." The fact that all we get are religitards preaching at us is plenty of evidence that their gawd, at best, isn't what they think and most likely, isn't even there.

The best they can do is quote that verse that says everyone already knows who Yahweh is. So if they aren't following him, it's only because they don't want to.
