Theists say this all the time, and it just baffles the hell out of me, and I think I can demonstrate why with a bit of ad libbing.

There we go. Why is faith so important? Why do all you believers have to sit there and act like it's so desperately vital that the things you pretend to know about be really, really unbelievable? What's the deal here?
Quote:I feel this is a major difference I have with atheists. I don't want some sort of mathematical proof of God's existence or miracles showing he exists. I rather have this inner reflection and reflection of the divine and build a relationship on God through faith in his unseen names and attributes that seem like foundation to my existence.
I rather have this non-evidence universe.
You would rather pretend to know things that make you comfortable, rather than accepting things that are evidenced and true. I get why that'd be appealing, but surely you understand why it's not at all compelling as an argument?
