Backonbriefly That is really, really well said. I've tried to make the same point before - that Christians don't ever actually ask for or expect miracles to happen either, but nowhere near as coherently as you've done.

So, when all is said and done, your "evidence" amounts to "I feel Jesus loves me" and "I can't personally see how the universe can exist without a creator".
I know you've acknowledged that it's not "proof" - but it's not actually evidence either, I'm afraid. Not by a long, long shot.
For a start, is there no part of you that finds it curious that the top level physicists & cosmologists in the world, the ones best able to explain the origins of the universe, don't share your doubts? Even the few who are Christians?
So your personal incredulity is not evidence of anything whatsoever.
There's not much I can say about you feeling Jesus' love. I wonder what you would say to a Hindu who "feels" that Brahman or Shiva love them? Who have personal experience of this love? If you are right and Jesus is the only game in town, then they are mistaken. You can be as respectful as you like about their religion - you must still think they are wrong.
So, how exactly do you square that circle? That ALL religious people feel the love of their God and spend their lives worshipping because of it. You can't all be right, that's not possible - but you can all be wrong.
I also think you've misunderstood just what an important question "Why doesn't God heal amputees?" is.
God appears to never do anything which would unambiguously demonstrate his existence - there's ALWAYS another natural, and therefore more plausible explanation. Is this coincidence?
Is he doing that on purpose? If so - why? According to you, he wants us to know him....and the best way to achieve that is to hide? Really?
Oh but - he wants us to know him through faith and not evidence. If he proved himself it would violate our free will......it goes something like that, doesn't it?
Well, first of all this assumes that to know God is to love him. If I knew him, I would automatically love him - and he wants me to find my own way there, yes?
But it doesn't work like that, does it? Satan and his minions are in no doubt of God's existence, but still manage not to love him. (And if you have dispensed with the idea of Satan & Hell like most other liberal Christians, then how do you explain the unbearable horrors that happen in our world? Evil is everywhere and your God must bear full responsibility for it).
And if this "free will" issue is such a big deal - big enough that our creator is hiding himself deliberately so he doesn't violate it, then why didn't he create genuine free will in the first place? If "to know him is to love him" then this alone violates free will because it seems we have no choice in the matter. He must have set things up that way.
If your God wants us to know him, he's going about it in the oddest possible way.
The only thing that separates us from the animal kingdom is our intelligence. We are amazingly intelligent - and intelligence is the ability to reason. If this is a gift from God, then it's the greatest one (the only one) he gave us. Look what we've done with it. Look at the world around you - look what science (the greatest expression of our intelligence) has given the world.
There's a thread running on Chat at the moment - "Without modern medicine would you still be alive?" - a great question. The answer, for most of us, is no. I, for one, would have died of an ectopic pregnancy at 21 - if I survived the serious bouts of tonsillitis in my childhood, that is. I am very grateful to science - God wanted me dead 
.
Now, I'm assuming that you think our ability to do all this is the reason God gave us such intelligence, yes?
Well OK - so our intelligence & ability to reason is a good thing. And yet, with the most important question of all, with our immortal souls resting on the answer, we have to abandon our reason completely? Ignore the lack of evidence and close our ears to any evidence that strongly suggests God doesn't exist?
For goodness sake - why? Have you ever truly contemplated this?
It just doesn't work, I'm afraid, no matter how much you try to pretend it does. If your God existed, atheism would be impossible. His existence would be blindingly obvious to everyone. The fact is that it is not and this is contradictory to your assertion that he wants us to know him.
Oh - and the God as a parent analogy is another bad one. Of course I want my child to love me - but not blindly. And if he didn't, I'd be sad - but I sure as heck wouldn't threaten to lock him in the basement and torture him for eternity. My son doesn't exist merely to make me feel good about myself with him worshipping at my feet (which is apparently all your God cares about) - and if he did I'd have faced care proceedings a long time ago.
I am a better parent than your God. I am a more moral being than your God. And so are you.
