It is not good to make unreasonable and unlawful demands, so it is you who needs to stop making unreasonable demands.
Then stop making claims without evidence.

And you think you are not mad?

First, you make unreasonable demands but rather than make the reasonable demand, you abandon all and go on to complain? grin

Respectfully, you are indeed mad!

I asked that clown why don't we see miracles of amputated limbs growing and he said such miracles have been preserved for the afterlife that it's only in heaven that amputees can get their missing body parts back.

There’s was a thread by kingxsamz that provides theists the opportunity to provide evidence for their supernatural claims, the thread ended with almost 12pages of flimsy excuses. They were even offered 2.5million if they can prove it. I mean, is this not the opportunity for your nonexistent god to answer your financial prayers?
There are other bounties waiting for theists; be it traditionalist, Christian or Muslim to participate and convince all atheist that supernatural exist, all we get are excuses upon excuses.

Men, it’s beyond me how people cling to stuffs that cannot proven even when provided the opportunity to win lots of money if they successfully prove it.
Just one out of many of the platforms will forever make atheist remain silent and the opportunities are begging.

What other opportunity do you want us to give to you to provide evidence for all your imaginary friends? You want us to take your personal bias experiences as evidence?
Maybe you don’t even understand what the Christian believes in and how Christianity works.

What kind of evidence do you seek from Christianity and religion?

The Christian faith and belief in God actually does not need proofs for their validity. Rather they are basic and warranted beliefs that come naturally with humans just like we believe our history, and eat naturally when we are hungry.

But you can still state the kind of evidence you seek from religion and Christianity.

Quote from Alvin Platinga below:

Critics claim that Christian belief is not rationally justified or justifiable: what, precisely, is the infirmity or defect they are ascribing to the Christian believer? What, exactly, is the question?


What are Christians accused of lacking? He suggests this criticism arises out of an idea called foundationalism.

He explores the idea that theism is rationally acceptable only if there are good arguments for it. He suggests that this treats religion like a scientific hypothesis, but questions whether that is reasonable. He suggests that this lays down a standard that the very argument itself cannot meet.

Foundationalism itself fails to meet its own standard used here to reject religion. In fact it leads to the rejection of most of our beliefs, not just theistic ones.

How much meets the classical conditions for being properly basic?

Not much, if any.

I believe that I had cornflakes for breakfast, that my wife was amused at some little stupidity of mine, that there really are such ‘external objects’ as trees and squirrels, and that the world was not created ten minutes ago with all its dusty books, apparent memories, crumbling mountains, and deeply carved canyons. These things, according to classical foundationalism, are not properly basic; they must be believed on the evidential basis of propositions that are self-evident or evident to the senses.


There are many beliefs which we rely on that in fact cannot be provided with good arguments that make them scientifically proven. The existence of external objects are difficult to separate from our perception.

Memories are hardly scientifically proven and yet we believe them and rely on them. In short, the standard that people make when critics suggest Christian theism unreasonable, is so high than many everyday beliefs would also fail the test.

Finally, Plantinga explores the idea of warrant. He considers those who argue that religious belief is wish fulfillment (Freud), or some sort of dysfunction (Marx). He notes that both begin their arguments from a position that claim theism is false. This is not argued, merely stated or asserted as a given. He continues to explore classic arguments against Christian belief (which he calls defeaters) and makes counter-cases. He believes none of these make serous challenges to the warrant Christian belief can enjoy, if it is true. The crucial difference here is not that he is arguing Christian beliefs are true, but that they are warranted if true.

This doesn't answer the question. You said "The Christian faith and belief in God actually does not need proofs for their validity", in other words you don't need proof for them to be true. The question now is how did you eliminate the possibility that they are false since you don't need proof.

Evident to the senses is not the same as I have eliminated falsity. Hallucinations are evident to the senses as well.
