Why is belief in a higher power required?

[Esquilax]

At best Esq, you can say realty is how you see it or how I see it. There is no evidence to tip the balance either way. My reality is no less real than yours. How we perceive that reality is all that is different. Feelings have nothing to do with it. That's a red herring.

Dude, feelings do have nothing to do with it, that was my point.

You had a kind of weird wording when you were talking about this earlier, saying that you couldn't see why we atheists couldn't see the advantages in a divinely just world. My response was that we could see how it would appeal, but that identifying a world that feels better isn't the same thing as living in that world. Feelings don't impact the truth of the matter.
