A lot of Christians either:
1) Demand evidence of your beliefs
2) Say there is plenty of evidence for their beliefs
But, when push comes to shove:
1) They tell you your evidence is wrong
a) Because your beliefs are aren't acceptable
b) Because you misquoted the Bible
2) They fail to provide evidence
a) Because they don't know any
b) Because there isn't any
The last time I debated an Orthodox Christian, he demanded time and again that I provide evidence of what I claimed. But when a great deal of my evidence came from the Bible, he screamed at me that I couldn't quote scripture to debate him. Huh? The Bible is the greatest weapon an atheist has to show truths to a Christian, and is a Christian's greatest weakness. Deep down, they know it. But they don't want to admit it.
Aye I think that is why many of us here have left the practice
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

And then is heard no more. It is a tale
