Philosophical help with a Christian debate

[max-greece]

I've not properly formulated this in my mind but to me there is something really strange about a theist attempting to prove the existence of God:

God demands faith, faith denies evidence.

In other words there is little or no value assigned to belief in incontrovertible evidence.

For a theist, therefore, to attempt to prove God means, that if they succeed they prove a rather incompetent God which is as bad news for them as it would be for an atheist.

There is a God - but he's not very good at his job?
