The only thing I asserted was that there is no objective evidence supporting the belief in a god. And with your statement that "nothing is supported by objective observation," you apparently agree with that.
The rest of what I've said has been my explanation that I choose to operate with the assumption that humans are able to perceive objective reality, and I that I live my life accordingly.
Is it possible that I'm wrong on that assumption? Of course. But I'd rather spend my time thinking about and analyzing other things. If what I perceive is not reality, but only my own subjective interpretation of it, then fine. It's the only reality I've got, and I'm going to live as if it were, in fact, objective.
I didn't say that I'm not interested in debates, so I'll politely decline your demand that I never again assert anything. What I did say was that I wasn't interested in that particular debate.
