Seems like you've erected a strawman, or have a reading comprehension problem.
Indeed, because I don't actually require anything of “God“; whereas its followers make all manner of claims about it and what it's capable of. Those are what I and others require evidence for. You understand this, GC, because you actually hit the nail on the head yourself:

Now, I and most others are more lenient in that we don't ask for proof necessarily; just evidence. Something which can be tested and which points to your god and your god alone as the cause of whatever effect is being claimed.
And the really silly part is that it ought to be trivial to demonstrate this stuff, if it really is as obvious as all that.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
