This whole "religious" vs somebody "wanting proof" argument is never going to end.

The religious stuff is dogma. Religious people take things as given and believe it. Asking a religious person for proof is a pointless exercise because you'll never get a proof that a "closed-minded towards religion" person will accept, and yet religious people accept it because of their faith.

What I'm trying to say is either you accept it(the "faithful") or you don't (the non-religious types). At the end of the day religion is about faith, not actual proof. (If there was proof it'd make things a lot simpler :)).

If religion had proof, then there would be no point to religion.

If you need proof of miracles than you'll never find it. That's not faith. Once you have faith, then you'll find the proof of miracles and see some yourself, like I have. It doesn't work the other way. God never takes the first step, if He did we wouldn't be free to choose any other path.

I always tend to think that people that continually need proof of something and never believe what you tell them (I'm not talking about religion) lie and are so deceitful themselves that they think everyone else is the same way.

... but anyway, here's a list of miracles Jesus performed that were recorded in the Bible

So I'll calm down if you stop making your cute remarks every post.
