Why is belief in a higher power required?

[Ryantology]

I do not base my beliefs off of any such work; I base them off of the infallible word of God. If you’re going to assume scripture is not the word of God a priori, then I have every right to assume it is the word of God a priori, fair is fair.

You'll have to prove that your God is real before we go down that road. I can't accept that anything is the infallible word of God when there is zero evidence that your God is real.

How do you know that you have collaborated with other people and tested the information? Did you not perceive this collaboration and testing also through your senses?

Appeal to solipsism? That's what you're going with? pfffft
