Fonzie (who jumped the shark), Happy Days, and the entrenched Roman and Greek gods are in the past, but Christianity is still very much a part of things. There is a reason for that.

Yes. It's called indoctrination.
If you're going to imply that the very existence of Christianity today is evidence for the veracity of the New Testament, you will have to admit that:
- The existence of Judaism is evidence against the New Testament
- The existence of Islam is evidence for the Q'uran
- The existence of Hinduism is evidence for the Vedas
- etc etc etc.
Of course, if that isn't what you were implying, then I would very much like to know what you were trying to say and how it relates to the OP.
This is the funniest thing I've read today.

My DOC, my DOC, why hast thou forsaken me?
Am I not that thread upon which all thine other threads depend?
Return, oh DOC. Thine enemies abound and here I lie, abandoned to their cruel and wicked onslaughts.
No other can take thy place. Deny it no longer, oh my DOC.
Thou knowest it's all about thee!

There was even a song about it, the tune of which Bob Dylan pinched for his song 'Bob Dylan's Dream'

Thanks for the links.
A possible reason why a perfect God does not overwhelm us with evidence.
It's back, the book "I Don't Have enough Faith to be an Atheist". Some of you will remember that book as the driving force behind my 2 year evidence thread entitled "Evidence why we know the New Testament Writers told the Truth".
It seems that that thread did not have enough evidence for many of you. But the authors of that book give a reason why God maybe does not overwhelm us with undeniable evidence. This reason is given in the paragraph nine lines down on page 31 from their book.

I don't want or need to be overwhelmed with evidence, a simple "miracle" that couldn't be performed by anything but a god would do fine.
You trying to make money selling books now? Why don't you simply post the the first full paragraph? Go ahead, overwhelm us with undeniable evidence.
A probable (to the point of being virtually assured) reason why a perfect God does not overwhelm us with evidence - No such thing exists (God and therefore evidence).

The paragraph says "There's lots of evidence. It's enough to convince anyone willing to believe. But there's no proof, because we're supposed to make the choice ourselves."
Still nonsense.
Still nonsense.
Then you want God to perform a miracle for each and every generation, every 20 years or so, so that each generation will love him because of the miracle.
Actually it can't be cut and pasted from that site. And I haven't made a penny off that book, and I don't know the authors.
Do you believe in the Big Bang and life from non-life? Do you have undeniable proof for those beliefs or just evidence?
