Jesus himself said to the Apostle that wouldn't believe in his resurrection for lack of evidence (see where im going with this ? ) that "Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."
Blind faith is what Jesus thinks is the good kind of faith. How sad is that ?
You need to phrase yourself a bit better.
Having a busted understanding of the topic doesn't make them wrong. there are many inconsistencies with biblical doctrine and Jesus' teachings and actions, as they were portrayed in the Bible, but what you listed isn't exactly a very strong case.
What I can add to your assertion is that Christians that I've talked to don't NEED evidence for their beliefs, they believe what they believe and that's that. It's frustrating as hell, but some people don't care if what they believe is actually what's going on.
