Because I think I have evidence for the existence of the christian God, but not the others.
I'd like to briefly explore this, if I may.
I believe you when you say that you think you have evidence; or rather, if you're like most Christians you believe that there is evidence, perhaps you've been assured that there is, but since you believe on the basis of faith and not evidence, you don't really know the evidence.
Right? I suspect this because that's invariably how it works in these discussions - Christians will assert that there's an evidence-based, intellectually-compelling case for the existence of God, and then when they're asked to make that case, they beg off because they don't know the case. They just "know" it exists, but they believe on faith so they don't need it. But they're sure that somebody somewhere is making it, and maybe you should ask the next Christian, maybe he knows it. But then you ask him about it and it's the same exact deal - not me, try the Christian to the left.
