You do if you are asserting something to be true.
You consistently assert that there is no evidence for any god. Is this true? You have so far made no argument to this effect. You just assert it. Does this mean we are free to reject it out of hand?
What's that mantra the New Atheists like? "That which is asserted without evidence may be dismissed without evidence." Why does that apply to them and not to you? Where is your proof that your definition of evidence is the only good one?
And since you generally respond by changing the topic, please note that I am in no way arguing for the existence of god or any other religious claim. I am talking about your beliefs. You believe that your beliefs about what constitute good evidence are true. Please prove this.
Or is this something you believe to be true for no reason?
