The “other minds” and “the world didn’t begin five minutes ago” examples aren’t analogous to God. Those beliefs are universal, involuntary, and their denial is self-defeating in practice. Belief in God is none of those things.

This is the strongest reply to the parity argument. Plantinga’s response is that belief in God is close to universal across cultures (the sensus divinitatis point) and is often involuntary for those who have it; its denial is not self-defeating, granted. So the analogy is partial. The narrower point survives: Clifford’s rule, taken strictly, would forbid many beliefs everyone holds, so it cannot be the standard, and a weaker standard has to say why belief in God specifically fails it. That is an argument about evidence, not about the ethics of belief, and it is welcome.
