If evidence for god is in abundance, why is faith necessary?
RE: If evidence for god is in abundance, why is faith necessary?
If you say so.  Perhaps pass along the suggestion to him, then...as potential consumer input, lol.  

We get a fair amount of people here schlepping the whole truth, or the new truth, or the real truth, or the old truth, or the truth They™ don't want us to know.  Or, my personal favorite...The All of the Above Truth.  Generally, we find that those people were lacking the one thing they made such extravagant claims to.  It's happened often enough that it forms a strong expectation of the next person.

Personally, I'm highly skeptical of any truth claim by a reintepretation of magic book, the problem with magic book has never been it's interpretation. Why do you, personally, feel that a reinterpreation grants magic book some truth it lacked before you did whatever work you did?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

You're an author who used 'whom' incorrectly. Just thought I'd mention it. Constructive criticism and all that.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
