What would you consider to be evidence for God?
RE: What would you consider to be evidence for God?

However, everyone will have their day of judgement, some will opt or a self-imposed eternal suffering, resulting from a free will decision. The equation is set-up incorrectly when portrait as this: Nonbeliever suffer eternal judgement for a temporal period (3 score and 10 +10 [by desire] as it were) of sin. The issue here is not how long the person sinned while living temporally on the earth, but rather the crux of the matter rests upon whom the sin was committed against. To commit sin against an eternal God is to commit an eternal sin. The remedy for the sin problem was the 2'nd person of the Trinity extirpating each person's sin by compressing the eternal sin judgement down to hours to 3 days. Some will take the remedy (belief that it was done for them);  the sin problem will be answered one way or another. There is scripture indications that approx. 1/3 will secure the remedy.

This is barely-coherent. It may make you feel better to blame everyone else for God's failings, but the explanation doesn't hold water. Especially since you begin by saying that no one is punished by God, then explaining all of the ways in which people will be punished by God. The justification for eternal reward or punishment is an attempt to have it both ways. God is the personification of love and kindness and mercy and generosity... but he'll condemn you to eternal suffering. In other words, god is far less merciful than any number of human beings who forgave people without requiring blood sacrifices or any torture at all. I personify love, kindness, mercy and generosity more than your god does, because I am capable of forgiving with no strings attached.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
