This was an A+ movement of goalposts.  First you say that, yes, some sins do cause illness.  Now you say that some may have an impact on your health.  From do, to may.

Classic.

Now, the easy, low hanging fruit is substance abuse.  Yet, there’s nothing in the Bible that explicitly prohibits it.  The closest it comes is saying that people need to obey the law of the land, even if they disagree, and to treat their bodies as a temple.  Plus some stuff about not letting one be deceived, yadda yadda.

Of course, none of that stops many self-proclaimed Christians from partaking in all sorts of behavior like this.  Not just hard drugs, but alcohol, nicotine, etc.  Shit, if not treating one’s body properly is a sin, then the typical American diet counts.  

But, my larger point isn’t that sin is bad behavior.  To Christians, it’s a metaphysical force.  One their god is so troubled by, offended by, that he sent himself/his son to be sacrificed (which makes absolutely no sense, but whatever).  It’s a literal stain on our purported souls.  Yet, neither souls nor this force which acts upon them have ever been detected.  Sin is, frankly, nonsense, and pointing to it as being the cause of things even more so.

So, when I say prove it, I mean prove it.  Don’t just regurgitate what a book says, as that’s merely the claim.  Show me, unequivocally, that these things exist.  Otherwise any claims of knowledge about them are false, and you’re merely talking gibberish.
First of all, I didn't tryed to prove sin to you , for the rest of your post , read my edit on the post.
Second, I sayed " some sins have an impact on your health" than I sayed "there are a lot of sins" as in there are so many that you have to struggle to not find one, but if it doesn't impact the health , I could go psychologycal or pop psychology but again , read my edit on the post.
