So it comes back to believing what you want to believe, emotional reasoning and not logic. I think we eventually got to the point I was trying to make earlier
Admitting there can be no proof or even evidence for something is admitting there is no logical reason to believe it, unless you define logic as being picking and choosing beliefs which may be true.
When there is no evidence, that is not a logical crossroads, it's an indication that there is no logical reason to believe the proposed conclusion. Expecting evidence against an unfalsifiable claim in order to reject it is to expect the impossible, and to have already drawn your conclusion.
I do respect the fact that you admit there is no evidence/proof, that's way more than most theists would do. Instead they rationalise with their terrible arguments from design or cosmological arguments, which are rarely the argument which actually convinced them. Most likely it never was an argument, just conditioning over time.
