I have seen this in others and experienced it myself. When you do things in God's service, you get a super-human energy and commitment level. You do things that seem impossible.
This is why 80-year-old nuns of the Sisters of Charity can do backbreaking work of caring for the poor all day every day.
Yeah, so? It still doesn't show that these feats come from God. You believing their claims and their claims themselves are evidence of nothing.

Generally good people are wise people. Canonized saints are especially good people, so therefore they are especially wise people. These people are especially devoted to God and to the Catholic Church. Therefore we can deduce it is wise to be devoted to God and the Catholic Church.
That's my "good fruits" proof of God.
Do atheists have a counterpart to the canonized saints?, ie, atheists who lived among the people they served and made a huge difference to society? Who are the "good fruits" atheists?
