Who asked you to explain yourself? I asked you to demonstrate evidence for the claims in the OP.

That's not what you asked in the OP. So, there's that.
Quote:and getting an interesting cross-section of opinions about that topic. You are trying to change the point to being about my personal beliefs and whether or not I can prove them; if I wanted to discuss that, I would have started a post about that. If you would like to have arguments about the existence of God with non-atheists I'm sure there are plenty of more suitable threads to do that on. Not this one.
No, I am not asking you about your personal beliefs, I am asking you to provide evidence. You have danced around what constitutes evidence and have provided none, nor even any examples.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
