Well if it is then you would acknowledge these words are true:
Mark 16:17-18
And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.”
Jesus tells you that if you drink poison nothing will happen to you and same with handling deadly snakes. So to prove that God exist drink whole pint (or 0.5 liters) of Cyanide or Polonium or Arsenic while letting black mambas slither over your bare skin in front of cameras and unbiased people and I will believe you proved God exists. Remember, according to Jesus nothing will happen to you as long as you believe in him.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
