Give me one satisfying proof of a God?
I'm conflicted, naturally...
Like I said, SATISFYING. The Bible doesn't prove anything. For all we know, it was written by a bunch of cultist schizophrenics... oh wait. IT WAS! Try again...
*****, please, I don't go on faith, I go on FACT. I will not live my life hoping, for the minute possibility of 'salvation' when there is far more evidence for the contrary.
Just because you don't understand something makes it proof of God? Even if NOBODY understands it, that is still not proof of a Creator. Somethings people have been convinced of Proof of a God, or for example, and afterlife, such as a bright light and your life 'passing before your eyes' HAS been explained scientifically.

Supposedly, here's all the proofs that will be given:
The Universe
The Bible
Faith.
Apparently, that's all people need to believe something.

Sorry the most satisfying thing i know is not in the public domain, but a technique i discovered after watching the mickey mouse club! No gods or devils exist anywhere outside of any ones properly inculcated mind! The only truth since the bile says you need a (pretend fake) belief of faith on your part to believe any gods or devils are even believable! Brainwashing gives you that "pretend fake belief of faith", not any man made up religious "truth's"!!!

You'll have to wait for death like everyone else in order to find out if that proof materializes. That's what the faithfuls do.
If I jump off a tall building to prove God is there to save me, I will certainly die and my religion will just get mocked by non-believers.
That is not how you should profess your faith.
Having faith means you do charitable works without expecting earthly rewards.
God is not our test subject. We are God's test subjects.
The pursuit of scientific knowledge to benefit life and create thrills, adventures, and fun in it is not necessarily a contrast to having faith in God.
It only takes patience to have faith and accomplish much.
If you choose not to go on faith and not live your life hoping for salvation -- Good luck.

No One is obligated to give you proof that the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob exists! If you are interested in people agreeing with you that God does not exist I suggest to you that you are one of those who is afraid of the truth and will not take the time to seriously investigate the vast body of evidence in existence to confirm ones belief for fear that you may be convinced that God does exist. Find out for yourself. If you are right then you will die and turn to dust and/or ashes and if you are wrong you will die and turn to dust and/or ashes and spend eternity in Hell. If I am right I will die, turn to dust and/or ashes, be resurrected in a perfect body and spend eternity in Heaven. So, make your choice, who cares, you have been warned.

Roll a pair of dice. Let's say they come up seven. Just say, "Some supernatural entity WANTED that to be a seven. That's why it came up that way. It could have been just any number."
Then you roll a six. "Ah...the supernatural entity didn't want me to get too cocky. It decided that I needed a six this time. I will accept that."
Then you roll another seven. "That entity is so good to me!"
And with every dice roll, you get more and more convinced until everything you see is determined by that supernatural entity.

There is no satisfying proof. All people need is some false hope and a book supposely written by their god. It is all so crude. And I don't mean to offend.

The fact that you assume your senses and memory are generally reliable as well as bank on the preconditions of intelligibility (i.e. laws of logic/physics) that are nonmaterial, universal, and govern the material universe despite different ideologies and electrochemical impulses between every human being are clear and satisfying reasons to believe in God.

For those who keep asking for "proof" nothing will satisfy them; so why should I bother? If God Himself appeared, you'd say that it was just an illusion.

No faith necessary. Just a little logic and maybe a dash of common sense.
We know God is who He claims to be because He’s done what He said He would do. That’s the whole point of prophecy and why studying it is so important to us. It’s God authenticating Himself.
For 6000 years He’s been describing things before they happened, so when they did His people would know that He was telling us the truth. Everything He said would happen in the past has happened, so it makes sense to believe that everything He said would happen in the future will happen.
There are over 135 historically verified, fulfilled prophecies in the first 35 verses of Daniel chapter 11. God called King Cyrus of Persia by name in Isaiah 44:24-45:6 as His agent for freeing the Israelites from Babylon 150 years before the event. Daniel 9:25 prophesied Jesus' entry into Jerusalem on what would be the first Palm Sunday, 483 years to the day after the decree to rebuild Jerusalem was given by King Artaxerxes Longimanus of Persia.
There are over 300 Old Testament prophecies, all of them a matter of public record hundreds of years before the fact, predicting the birth, life, death, and resurrection of Jesus the Christ. The abundance and specificity of these prophecies demolish any notion of chance, exceed the requirements of statistical analysis, and prove more conclusively than any other fact of history that Jesus is the Son of God. In fact there is more hard evidence to prove that He is Who He claims to be, than there is that you are who you claim to be.
This is the unique and truly beautiful thing about the Bible. It stands alone among the so-called Holy Writings of the world, in its self-validating ability. Only the Bible tells the future with 100% accuracy. God knew we would be skeptical, unbelieving children. So early on, He began telling us things in advance of their occurrence so when what He said came true, we would be willing to believe Him. In this way we can be assured that our faith is justified.
In fact in Isaiah 44:6-8 God challenged anyone who claimed to be like Him to a two part test. Part 1 is to accurately recount the past and part two is to accurately proclaim the future. Only God, who knows the end from the beginning can do this.
Anyone who will put aside their pre-conceived notions and undertake an unbiased study of Old Testament prophecy can prove God’s existence beyond a shadow of doubt within a few hours. As God had Isaiah write, “I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me. I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come.” (Isaiah 46:9-10) No other so-called deity can make that claim.
When you study Bible Prophecy and World History side by side it doesn’t require much faith at all to believe the Bible. The evidence in fulfilled prophecy is just too overwhelming. But don’t take my word for this, try it for yourself. The truth converts emotion to logic, adds knowledge to zeal, and makes your faith unshakable. Someday soon that kind of faith might well come in handy.

As far as I'm aware, there is no solid evidence or proof of gods existence.
