Christianity is illogical because it assumes certain aspects of history, science, and existence to be untrue while at the same time it presents dogmatic principles as infallible fact, even when these principles do not stand up to testing.
When talking about the question of evidence, you must realize why we ask you, the Christian, to provide it. We believe in the absence of god, and logically it makes more sense to prove presence rather than absence. It's a basic principle of science, it's how we test things.
If you're looking for examples, there are a plethora of discrepancies within the bible. I suggest you look here if you'd like to see them all highlighted. When you consider that the only "real" evidence to support Christian theology is what's in the book you start to realize that it doesn't make so much sense, especially when you consider the very weak arguments presented in the face of evidence to the contrary (which doesn't need to be provided really, but it does exist.)
You really believe in a man who has helped to save the world twice, with the power to change his physical appearance? An alien who travels though time and space--in a police box?!?
