Demand For Coercive Proof Of God Misreads Christianity

God has deliberately not placed humanity in a system where every reasonable person must look at the evidence and believe, because human freedom requires that the gift of faith be freely received; the Christian claim is that the gospels are divine inspiration through humans wrestling with revelation rather than crystalline divine dictation, so they read like first-person memoirs.
