Yeah, I was agreeing with you. I was clarifying that it SHOULD be required though.
And in case you don't know; earlier on the thread it may have sounded like I was saying it was required. But what I meant was that it should be required.
And if it's required for other things why shouldn't it be required for God?
Like if I say "Evidence is required for everything else. So It's required for God too."
I of course wouldn't mean that you need evidence to believe in God. You need faith to believe in God.
I mean that really there is no reason that it should be required any less than for anything else. To logically speaking if it's required for everything else then it should really be required for God too. Or be considered required.
Because there's no reason why it shouldn't be. What's the difference logically I mean? It's just considered a 'special case' I think. But there's nothing special about it.
If you had faith in Zeus, the IPU or the FSM that would be considered silly and treated like everything else. Faith in "God" is treated like it's a special case. But it's not special; there's nothing special about it.
If evidence is required for other things then it's required for God really; it's just people believe anyway so it's obviously NOT required TO believe; because so many people believe on faith WITHOUT evidence. So it's certainly possible! It's more than possible! Everyone who believes in God believes on faith not evidence. So it's more than possible, it's extremely common and happens all the time.
But if it's required for other things then its required for God as in the logical, rational requirements for belief in pretty much everything else (i.e, other things regarding the subject of reality tend to need evidence to really desire belief) are applicable for God too.
Logically there is no difference.
Evidence for God: None.
Evidnence for Zeus, the FSM, the IPU (and anything else there is no evidence for that you can possibly dream up): None.
Why on earth should God be given a special case?
If the requirements to believe in Zeus, the FSM and the IPU are evidence. Then the requirement is logically the same with God.
In principle its the same. In practice people don't require it; they just believe 'on faith' (i.e, irrationally; without evidence).
