This thread has gotten way off topic. It's supposed to be about what exactly proof would be, not whether or not God is real. It's more of a statement: Don't ask us for proof if you can't provide any either. Why does that not make sense to anyone?
Far as I can tell, we're still on topic. I asked what proof God has shown - you said the bible. I gave you a reason why I don't think that constitutes proof.

If I claim that I have a cure for cancer, it's not everyone else's job to prove that it DOESN'T cure cancer - it's my job to prove that it DOES. Likewise, if someone claims that God is real, it's not other people's jobs to disprove it.

If it's the case that someone believes in God, and is willing to leave everyone else alone about it, that's fine. But when religious people attempt to manipulate laws and society to incorporate their beliefs in God without any evidence for his existence, that's a problem.

Not around so much now that school's started

"Live a good life.
If there are gods and they are just,
then they will not care how devout you have been,
but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by.
If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them.
If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life
that will live on in the memories of your loved ones."
Marcus Aurelius
