A Christian tells you about gravity and asks you to believe in it without evidence because that's the only to experience its existence. Once you do you then have to develop a personal relationship with gravity and to give up questioning because apparently this is an enemy of faith and you can only question so much before you need to start believing.

Oh wait. My wrong. Only the last one is what Christians do. Must be some kind of special pleading.
