And I agree with what Esquilax said. How does it make sense that with no evidence whatsoever of God's existence, he would expect me to fully buy into a glorified book of fairy tales as reality? And if I didn't believe this book that has as much realistic information as the How to Train Your Dragon series, then I am going to be tormented in Hell for eternity?
Either way, I believe in none of that. But even if a god like that existed, I wouldn't want to follow him anyways.
Evidence comes from the word evident. Meaning, something other people can observe and verify. Which automatically eliminates the fuzzy good feelings most theists rely on as proof of their deity, because we can't feel exactly what they feel the moment they feel it. And, not coincidentally, it's usually those kinds of feelings that theists reference first when asked "Why do you believe?"
