Q: do you, Christian, claim that God exists, rather than you believe that he exists?

A person is condemned because they reject God's offer of salvation found only in the person of Christ.

What burden of responsibility and measure of condemnation then does the believer who fails to present adequate reasons for belief bear? Any? Is it really only on the person who rejects the claims, in spite of their willingness to listen impartially? So weak evidence can never be weak evidence? Irreversible guilt accrues for exercising honest skepticism? Nice system you have there.
