"It is as surprising as it is confounding and yet it is true. Many pretheists will respond exactly the way God deniers do, with puzzlement and requests for evidence. Some will even look upon those eager to let the light of His love into their hearts askance, as if it were we who were the odd ones."

Why would anyone NOT request evidence? I don't believe anything simply because someone says it is so. That doesn't only apply to religion. I approach everything in life the same way. You can't just say something is true and expect me to believe it for no reason.
