Theist Faith

Why do some theists spend so much time trying to prove their particular god exists? There are You Tube vids, blogs and all sorts of theist sites online proclaiming evidence that their god exists.
Why would an omnipotent, omniscient god, who demands faith, blind faith, blind, death-defying faith, in exchange for life eternal later and miraculous powers now, leave undeniable evidence of his existence for people to just stumble over? He’d be defeating his own purpose, no?
Evidence and proof destroy the need for faith.
So why this need to emphatically prove his existence?
Seems to me like they don’t have enough faith.

Oh, and seasons greetings. Festivus for the rest of us!
