Evangelical Christian: I haven’t asked you to believe anything. I simply stated that the evidence you want will soon be forthcoming [the Second Coming of Christ]…whether you are still here to see it or not. Either way, you will know He is real.
Gary, non-supernaturalist: When someone tells a child, “There is an invisible boogeyman under your bed. He is going to get you if you don’t do such and such”, the child does not have the maturity, education, and critical thinking skills to know that this person is either (1) full of BS (pulling a prank on them) or (2) an irrational superstitious fool.
Unless you can provide better evidence for your claim that your invisible boogeyman, Jesus the resurrected Christ, is alive and well and soon to return to earth as Master of the Cosmos and Supreme Judge of all humanity, people should consider you too as either completely full of crap or a superstitious fool.
Abandon your superstitions, my evangelical Christian friend. There is no good evidence supporting them.

Escaping Christian Fundamentalism 
” simply stated that the evidence you want will soon be forthcoming.”
Uh huh. When? Care to put a testable timeline on that statement? Almost 2000 years now, and we’re still waiting. At what point will Christians admit that Jesus isn’t coming back?
I have to wonder, if humanity, and Christianity, survived until something like the year 9000, would they still be saying “he’s coming back soon”? How many times did idiots like Camping get the second coming wrong, and still have followers?

Christianity should have packed up and went home after all the apostles died (assuming all apostles stayed with the movement), as by then it should have been clear that Jesus wasn’t coming back, and his predictions, along with Paul’s that the end is right around the corner, were wrong. But that’s not human nature, and the later forged epistles and gospels start the work of changing the message to the fit the failure, just like the Watchtower Society, Millerites, and others rejiggered their message when their predictions failed.

They begin “changing the message to fit the failure” — good point!! But of course, “they” can’t see that. Especially when it’s regularly reinforced via clergy.
