Exactly. Yet you continue to demand evidence of faith.
Demand evidence of faith?
So that translates for you telling me that I am demanding evidence for belief without evidence...huh?
So you mean things that can be believed only WITHOUT evidence - and I assume you mean because "God", etc there 'can be no evidence of' because he's unprovable and unfalsifiable, etc - I am demanding evidence for when there CAN'T be any evidence so that's illogical?
I've responded to this over and over again. Whether there can be evidence for "God" or NOT that doesn't mean you don't need evidence for God in order to rationally BELIEVE in him...
If the fact that there can't be evidence of God means you should believe in him WITHOUT evidence simply because you can't WITH evidence because there 'can't be any' then the same thing would apply to the FSM. You are simply giving God special treatment over the FSM for no good reason. You are cherry-picking God out; giving him special treatment - over the FSM, the IPU, Santa Claus, Zeus, Thor, and The Invisible Intangible Purple Spearmint Flavoured Goblin With a Rainbow-Striped Tail, Etc!
