The point is that you are preparing to die not only for unevidenced beliefs, but also under the condition that you are not really going to die, also unevidenced. That's the same rationale every odd suicide bomber uses. You're just a hair's breadth away from that.
You're saying that I have beliefs with no supporting evidence, but I've given you my evidence. I'm not like a suicide bomber in that I'm not trying to hurt anyone else. I'm not even trying to die. The instance which we are discussing would be if someone was trying to kill me.
You have only expressed incredulity and ignorance.
Your incredulity and ignorance are not evidence.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
