And no evidence is not a good reason to believe! Therefore 'faith' is not a good reason to believe....
I'm not saying that you don't need to believe. I'm saying there is no provable evidence that would mean you have to believe. There has to be a choice. This is the whole thrust of Christianity. Choice. If the tiniest piece of proof existed our choice would be gone.
To limit yourself to proof protects you from opening your mind and thinking about things thoroughly. Out there in free thought you risk losing the game. But what's the point of thinking at all if you're going to limit yourself so much? You keep repeating over and over the same statements. You never seem to progress with those.
