"Once again: true belief in God demands faith, not proof. Anyone who demands proof should examine why they even bother professing a belief in God."

No, but you ought to be able to come up with a smidgen of evidence. Faith requires more than an intellectual vaccuum.

You cannot simultaneously believe that your existence is a meaningless accident and at the same time endorse a view that holds that your life has ultimate meaning and purpose. These are mutually exclusive concepts. "Just having faith" doesn't mean anything. Faith in what? A "God" who is hermetically sealed off from the world of experience? Why bother?
