You have claimed 2,000 years of Christian thought and millions of humans who have believed it, are full of shit. I just thought you might offer more than Christians need to prove their belief.

...don't need to
..and remember these people that believed in god believed the earth was flat and the center of the Universe...they denigrated/punished people who thought the earth was not the center of the Universe
....these people that believed in god tortured people ....these people that believed in god robbed/pillaged/sacked a christian town for $$$$--how nice of the christians
Siege of Zara - Wikipedia
these same people today are raping/molesting children!!--and many others [ the hierarchy ] try/tried to protect the child rapists people that believe in god
..and I've always wondered what is the big deal of all the Christmas songs about jesus will bring peace/savoir/god's son/etc etc---but the world hasn't gotten better...in fact, 2000 years after jesus came we had the greatest destruction/murder/rape/robbery/etc

- Jean Buridan (1300–58): was a French philosopher and priest. One of his most significant contributions to science was the development of the theory of impetus, that explained the movement of projectiles and objects in free-fall.

the '''christians'' who TORTURED people
the christians who stole $$$$/land/etc in the name of ''god''
etc
they are HYPOCRITES big time--'''don't sin'' ---but then they go RAPING children
Yes harmonica they DO count as sins,
and worse if they are serving as pharisees and elders in the church and do wrong, that is judged harsher.
What determines heaven or hell is the degree to which we FORGIVE and resolve the causes of sins.
Forgiveness does not mean to forget tolerate or enable wrongs. It means to let go of negative emotional attachment to them, so we can have peace of mind
and focus on corrections, prevention and solutions.
Forgiveness that leads to Restorative Justice and Peace
allows us to correct and end the wrongs and ills that
otherwise repeat in cycles of suffering and injustice in the world.
Regardless how severe the sins are, by forgiving them this opens the door to understanding and correcting all causes.

the '''christians'' who TORTURED people
the christians who stole $$$$/land/etc in the name of ''god''
etc
they are HYPOCRITES big time--'''don't sin'' ---but then they go RAPING children
Yes harmonica they DO count as sins,
and worse if they are serving as pharisees and elders in the church and do wrong, that is judged harsher.
What determines heaven or hell is the degree to which we FORGIVE and resolve the causes of sins.
Forgiveness does not mean to forget tolerate or enable wrongs. It means to let go of negative emotional attachment to them, so we can have peace of mind
and focus on corrections, prevention and solutions.
Forgiveness that leads to Restorative Justice and Peace
allows us to correct and end the wrongs and ills that
otherwise repeat in cycles of suffering and injustice in the world.
Regardless how severe the sins are, by forgiving them this opens the door to understanding and correcting all causes.

- Robert Grosseteste (c.1175–1253): Bishop of Lincoln, he was the central character of the English intellectual movement in the first half of the 13th century and is considered the founder of scientific thought in Oxford. He had a great interest in the natural world and wrote texts on the mathematical sciences of optics, astronomy and geometry. He affirmed that experiments should be used in order to verify a theory, testing its consequences and added greatly to the development of the scientific method.[3]
- Albertus Magnus (c.1193–1280): Patron saint of scientists in Catholicism who may have been the first to isolate arsenic. He wrote that: "Natural science does not consist in ratifying what others have said, but in seeking the causes of phenomena." Yet he rejected elements of Aristotelianism that conflicted with Catholicism and drew on his faith as well as Neo-Platonic ideas to "balance" "troubling" Aristotelian elements.[note 1][4]
- Jean Buridan (1300–58): was a French philosopher and priest. One of his most significant contributions to science was the development of the theory of impetus, that explained the movement of projectiles and objects in free-fall. This theory gave way to the dynamics of Galileo Galilei and for Isaac Newton's famous principle of Inertia.
- Nicole Oresme (c.1323–1382): Theologian and bishop of Lisieux, he was one of the early founders and popularizers of modern sciences. One of his many scientific contributions is the discovery of the curvature of light through atmospheric refraction.[5]

- Isaac Barrow (1630–1677): English theologian, scientist, and mathematician. He wrote Expositions of the Creed, The Lord's Prayer, Decalogue, and Sacraments and Lectiones Opticae et Geometricae.[20]
- Juan Lobkowitz (1606–1682): Cistercian monk who did work on Combinatorics and published astronomy tables at age 10. He also did works of theology and sermons.[21]
- Seth Ward (1617–1689): Anglican Bishop of Salisbury and Savilian Chair of Astronomy from 1649–1661. He wrote Ismaelis Bullialdi astro-nomiae philolaicae fundamenta inquisitio brevis and Astronomia geometrica. He also had a theological/philosophical dispute with Thomas Hobbes and as a bishop was severe toward nonconformists.[22]
- Robert Boyle (1627–1691): Prominent scientist and theologian who argued that the study of science could improve glorification of God.[23][24] A strong Christian apologist, he is considered one of the most important figures in the history of Chemistry.

He also made major contributions to mathematics, physics, and technology. He created the Stepped Reckoner and his Protogaea concerns geology and natural history. He was a Lutheran who worked with convert to Catholicism John Frederick, Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg in hopes of a reunification between Catholicism and Lutheranism.[27]
- Stephen Hales (1677–1761): Copley Medal winning scientist significant to the study of plant physiology.

Yes harmonica they DO count as sins,
and worse if they are serving as pharisees and elders in the church and do wrong, that is judged harsher.
What determines heaven or hell is the degree to which we FORGIVE and resolve the causes of sins.
Forgiveness does not mean to forget tolerate or enable wrongs. It means to let go of negative emotional attachment to them, so we can have peace of mind

Forgiveness that leads to Restorative Justice and Peace
allows us to correct and end the wrongs and ills that
otherwise repeat in cycles of suffering and injustice in the world.
Regardless how severe the sins are, by forgiving them this opens the door to understanding and correcting all causes.
Great harmonica the more you can forgive wrongs, the more you can correct the causes.
As for proof of God, what we can do is prove that different sides can reconcile our terms for what we mean by God. For example God meaning universal Truth or Wisdom. Or God's law meaning Laws or Forces of Life or Nature. God meaning the energy of love, or Good will that motivates all humanity as one.
Similarly we can reconcile our beliefs about Jesus or Justice, regardless what we call these concepts. The meaning of Justice, Equal Justice Under Law, Justice with Mercy, Peace and Justice can be universally recognized and established even if we use different languages or religions to express the principles needed for Justice in society and relations.
Again harmonica the key factor is forgiveness.
whether people are Christian or nonchristian, believers in a personified God, or nontheistic secular gentiles who believe in natural law and science it is "forgiveness" of conflicts and problems that allows us to reconcile, and unforgiveness that divides and obstructs us otherwise.
So if you and tinydancer and others are equally willing to forgive issues
and work together, we can agree what we mean by God so we align our beliefs
even though these remain faith based. And if we are not able to forgive,
we can stay stuck not able to resolve problems we both blame on other groups.
It's not a matter of changing each other's beliefs, but aligning what we
already believe, especially if we speak two different languages for the same concepts in life.

- Jean Buridan (1300–58): was a French philosopher and priest. One of his most significant contributions to science was the development of the theory of impetus, that explained the movement of projectiles and objects in free-fall.

List of Christians in science and technology - Wikipedia
the '''christians'' who TORTURED people
the christians who stole $$$$/land/etc in the name of ''god''
etc
they are HYPOCRITES big time--'''don't sin'' ---but then they go RAPING children
Yes harmonica they DO count as sins,
and worse if they are serving as pharisees and elders in the church and do wrong, that is judged harsher.
What determines heaven or hell is the degree to which we FORGIVE and resolve the causes of sins.
Forgiveness does not mean to forget tolerate or enable wrongs. It means to let go of negative emotional attachment to them, so we can have peace of mind
and focus on corrections, prevention and solutions.
Forgiveness that leads to Restorative Justice and Peace
allows us to correct and end the wrongs and ills that
otherwise repeat in cycles of suffering and injustice in the world.
Regardless how severe the sins are, by forgiving them this opens the door to understanding and correcting all causes.
Great harmonica the more you can forgive wrongs, the more you can correct the causes.
As for proof of God, what we can do is prove that different sides can reconcile our terms for what we mean by God. For example God meaning universal Truth or Wisdom. Or God's law meaning Laws or Forces of Life or Nature. God meaning the energy of love, or Good will that motivates all humanity as one.
Similarly we can reconcile our beliefs about Jesus or Justice, regardless what we call these concepts. The meaning of Justice, Equal Justice Under Law, Justice with Mercy, Peace and Justice can be universally recognized and established even if we use different languages or religions to express the principles needed for Justice in society and relations.
Again harmonica the key factor is forgiveness.
whether people are Christian or nonchristian, believers in a personified God, or nontheistic secular gentiles who believe in natural law and science it is "forgiveness" of conflicts and problems that allows us to reconcile, and unforgiveness that divides and obstructs us otherwise.

I see revenge as a natural- ok human ''trait'' ...people love to watch the ''good'' guy get revenge at the end of a movie.....or get revenge at a sports game .....or any type of revenge ...forgiveness is not so natural ...so I don't think we ''need'' to forgive ..it's nice but not necessaryI forgive Tinydancer for his vulgar, vile attack on methese people do not negate the child rapist/molestersYou ******* little pig. You don't know jack shit. Christian scientists changed the world you bloody fool. Here's just part of accomplishments asshole. I detest ignorance and you are a prime example of what teachers are barzooka barfing out these days.

List of Christians in science and technology - Wikipedia
the '''christians'' who TORTURED people
the christians who stole $$$$/land/etc in the name of ''god''
etc
they are HYPOCRITES big time--'''don't sin'' ---but then they go RAPING children
Yes harmonica they DO count as sins,
and worse if they are serving as pharisees and elders in the church and do wrong, that is judged harsher.
What determines heaven or hell is the degree to which we FORGIVE and resolve the causes of sins.
Forgiveness does not mean to forget tolerate or enable wrongs. It means to let go of negative emotional attachment to them, so we can have peace of mind
and focus on corrections, prevention and solutions.
Forgiveness that leads to Restorative Justice and Peace
allows us to correct and end the wrongs and ills that
otherwise repeat in cycles of suffering and injustice in the world.
Regardless how severe the sins are, by forgiving them this opens the door to understanding and correcting all causes.
Great harmonica the more you can forgive wrongs, the more you can correct the causes.
As for proof of God, what we can do is prove that different sides can reconcile our terms for what we mean by God. For example God meaning universal Truth or Wisdom. Or God's law meaning Laws or Forces of Life or Nature. God meaning the energy of love, or Good will that motivates all humanity as one.
Similarly we can reconcile our beliefs about Jesus or Justice, regardless what we call these concepts. The meaning of Justice, Equal Justice Under Law, Justice with Mercy, Peace and Justice can be universally recognized and established even if we use different languages or religions to express the principles needed for Justice in society and relations.
Again harmonica the key factor is forgiveness.
whether people are Christian or nonchristian, believers in a personified God, or nontheistic secular gentiles who believe in natural law and science it is "forgiveness" of conflicts and problems that allows us to reconcile, and unforgiveness that divides and obstructs us otherwise.
sure harmonica as long as you can
forgive that by natural laws, the same justice
you give to others comes back to you like
a boomerang.
If you live by retributive justice, people will smack you back. If you both can forgive that, then live and let live, accept the consequences you reap for what you sow.
If you live by restorative justice, then where you allow people to correct themselves to restore good faith relations, the same will be afforded to you.
Eventually we will learn which people we prefer to live by restorative justice with, and which we either reserve retributive approaches for or decide they aren't worth the effort at all.
Either way what we learn to avoid is not to impose retribution on people seeking restoration, and not to waste restoration efforts on people just seeking retribution. We should apply the right approach to the right situations and relations.
And we can get along with people under both systems, when it's clear which people are under which.
