       If there really was no evidence there would be nothing for them to believe.   
   That's so obvious it seems even an atheist should be able to get that "far",   
   but   
   as yet I haven't known any to be able to. What if one could? What if one could   
   explain WHAT type of evidence atheists think there "should be"? WHERE do   
   atheists think the evidence they beg for "should be"? WHY do atheists think it   
   "should be" to God's benefit for him to provide us with whatever particular   
   evidence they keep whining about?
