Nope. Definitely was not Randy. I've never heard a Catholic say they are not Christian. That makes 0 sense.

I agree, but we did have roundy round with someone insisting that catholics are not christians. It will come to me eventually.

I'm not sure of the reasonableness of asking for 'evidence for God'. In the case of the God of Abraham, this is a non-evidentiary Being, whose existence is to be taken as a matter of faith (see Douglas Adams). And the answers you're likely to get are going to be absurdist in the extreme ('Everything is evidence for God' or 'Lots of people believe in God, so there's your evidence').
Better questions might be:
1) 'Is there anything - a phenomenon, a process, anything at all - for which God is the only possible explanation?'
2) 'Can you present a convincing argument for the existence of God?'
These are likely better questions, because they bring theists closer to what the rest of us call 'thinking', and it's fun to watch their faces go all red with the effort.

Please give me evidence for God.

Here are two pieces of evidence that God exists. Only a divine being could have made these.

I've heard a Catholic say that the Pope who rode prostitutes around like donkeys was infallible in his spiritual proclamations.
The Catholic Church tried to silence Galileo for saying the earth orbited the Sun. That made 0 sense too.
Sense doesn't enter into it.

And what spiritual proclamations were those? Considering there have only been 2 papal proclamations in the history of the Church, I doubt he was one who made one.

Otherwise known as PayPal Bull.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Graph of saints by year of death:

Clearly something Holy going on around the year 300 here. Anything to do with the fact that martyrs only need 1 miracle to be declared a saint?
Who the fuck decided that? Oh yes, the Pope.

Quibble about terminology all you like. Papal infallibility is clearly bullshit. During the Western Schism, there were three separate guys all claiming they were the Pope. At least 2 of them must have been wrong.
Quote:Papal infallibility is a dogma of the Catholic Church that states that, in virtue of the promise of Jesus to Peter, the Pope is preserved from the possibility of error "When, in the exercise of his office as shepherd and teacher of all Christians, in virtue of his supreme apostolic authority, he defines a doctrine concerning faith or morals to be held by the whole Church
