The Bible teaches us that what matters is the Truth, not the evidence. Why does it matter whether we Christians can support our beliefs with good arguments, as long as we know we're right?
Faith is a gift from God so we can be Saved without needing to resort to reason. It would be ungrateful of us to use reason and reject God's gift!

Most unreasonable people are not right about most things. Common sense is also a gift from God. It is not sinful to use it.

If you can be either right or reasonable but not both, then right is unreasonable and reasonable is wrong. You have put this into a religious context and there are several religions, so please tell us which religion is 'right.'
Your God endowed man with free will. If only your religious beliefs are right, are you intolerant of other people who are using that free will to believe something else?

You keep making fun of Christians (which is fine by me), but if you look at the answers to your satirical questions, Atheists (some extremely ignorant of the things they are trying to defend), are just as likely to attack or defend their "faith" with emotional nonsense.
I don't really care what people believe. I have to take care of me, and that's enough responsibility really. But I do ask people to know what they believe because they have faith in it, and what they believe because they have good evidence or firm logic. Both are okay, just know which is which, otherwise people annoy me.

Absolutely. The bible doesn't say a darned thing about being nice. That's what's so great about Christianity! You can be rude as you wanna be, even break "man laws" so long as you accept Jesus as your lord and savior!
Amen!
