No, I'm saying that belief should be withheld because there's an
infinite number of possible gods - yours merely being one of them.

So?  You're arguing *my* point.

The reality of any particular god is something that no one has ever
found any objective evidence of.

What "object"?  If you have objective evidence, post it.  You'll be
the first in human history.

TOTAL lack of even the slightest shred of any objective evidence.

>  You need to explain why God should not be posited

YOUR god?  As I've said before, the Christian god, as defined by
Christianity, is impossible.

Why any god should be?  That lack of evidence.

1) There's absolutely NO objective evidence of any god, yours or any
other.
2) It's your burden to prove your assertion, not ours to disprove it.

>  In other words, stop spinning, and posit real reasons.

You're the one evading your burden.  Post objective evidence that your
god (or any god) objectively exists.  The default position is "no".

side."
