But that itself is a claim that I don't think meets its own criteria, which is the point of this whole thread. Unless I am misunderstanding what you mean by justification or evidence.
I think you're making a category error by considering all claims to be equivalent relative to evidence requirements regardless of what's being claimed. I honestly thought this thread had already pushed through that and am quite surprised that you are making the error, unless of course you are intentionally being coy.
If you are struggling with the difference, in terms of evidence requirements, between "my favorite color is red" and "the god of The Bible exists", there's probably not a lot of room for discussion here.
