By simply stating that your faith requires no evidence (which is true) you say it just is. The existence of god just is and you believe this by faith. Starting your arguments from this position you make your faith appear as fact.
Dam yo confuzed boi!
I have a belief. I state I have a belief. God is a conclusion of a certain set of logical statements. Other conclusions are possible, I'm not saying mine is the only one. I am perfectly happy for others to either not have an opinion, follow other ideas or to have worked it out for themselves. Like I said I don't state that I'm fixed in my opinion. I will change it if I'm convinced another possibility is stronger.
I comment if you call my belief what it isn't. Same as I expect you to comment if I misrepresented your ideas/ beliefs.
