If evidence for god is in abundance, why is faith necessary?

I see you like Christians who do not bother you with a witness and have no concern about your eternal destination. You like Christians who sit around and do little of what the bible instructs us to do. Who said any of us here hate on the gays, that would be your opinion of us because we believe what the word of God says, not in how we associate with gays.

That faith is needed in the religious community reasonably means that zero evidence is in existence to prove god is real.

The other Christians here have said it well and that does mean I agree with each one. They have summed it up well.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
