Why are there so many atheism-related post?

Of course you realize that physical evidence is not a component of faith based belief in a personal God.

Not all Christians are your idealized concept of a Christian.

Some Christians at CF have suggested that the physical world is evidence of a personal God, and that we are fools if we don't see this as well. There are all sorts of arguments for the existence of God that are rooted in physical evidence.

that has no bearing on the fact that evidence is not a requirement of faith.

I may have said that my self. The civilization we live in is definitely evidence of gods. Even if these gods only exist within our minds, they have certainly had an influence on our civilization.

Apparently other theists don't agree with what you see as "fact." In fact, some have mentioned something akin to "faith without evidence is foolishness." I wonder how we can tell who's correct...

Indeed.... Faith is belief in something without evidence. If you are provided evidence, you no longer have faith, you have reason.

The concept of Gods sure have had an influence and impact. That doesn't mean those concepts are based in reality though.

Knowledge, not reason. Reason is a means to an end while knowledge is the end which can be used as a mean.
