Do Christians actually want evidence?

[Mudhammam]

That's not true at all. I followed the exact a/s/k method you described, because I was afraid I'd committed blasphemy and was seeking the love and forgiveness of the lord.

again if you did not find God and stopped Asking and seeking then you did not follow the model in luke 11. You may have very earnestly asked and sought, but you did not knock. 1/3 of everything Jesus has to say in that passage is on the importance of knocking. If you did not knock you did not complete the perscribed path. therefore you did not do it 'my' or rather God's way.

I'm just going to take a wild stab in the dark, but if someone genuinely "asks" the imaginary sky deity for faith, and gets rejected (or rather, finds his or her self overwhelmed by common sense and can't believe it), you can always say that it wasn't done "God's way," right? Otherwise, God's way could lead to atheism. So basically, all your saying is that a person must believe in belief before he or she believes.
