I didn't say anything quite like that.
My point in the other thread was just that if we're going to consider gut feelings to be evidence, it's important to remember that gut feelings work not oy for but also against God, depending on whose gut feelings we're considering.
Personally, I don't think someone's feeling of "God's presence" or whatnot is evidence of anything but their own theism, but even if we decide that personal feelings like these are meaningful, it would be hypocritical to accept the feelings of one side but not of the other.
I think feelings are evidence just as falling in love or anger at a coworker for talking behind his back because the response from the emotions good or bad is real.
Like the evidence I'm in pain is because I hit my toe two years ago. But if someone asked me for evidence years later I can't go back to where I hut my toe. All I can do is show them the mark and explain how painful it felt.
A lot of atheist want to know the chair, house, place, and time of the event.
Most believers tend to put more emphasis on the pain and emotions from it is proof that pain is real despite not being evidence to prove it.
I get what you're saying though. I think asking for objective evidence for a subjective belief is counterproductive.
