Evidence that God exists

The bible, more specifically the new testament

Come now, we asked for evidence. I can recite my holy book (Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster) as evidence for Hell having stale beer, but just because I believe it doesn't make it true.

So give us your evidence as to why the Bible should be trusted (or believed in any way), and what parts of the Bible lead you to the conclusion of Hell.

Uh, well, first off there is a huge number of new testrament manuscripts, many more than any other ancient writings including those of Ceasar, aristotle, plato, etc. They're also incredibly similar indicating very little forgery. They were also written very shortly after the events were said to occur. The internal consistency of the new testament documents is about 99.5% textual purity and the entire new testament was compiled within 70 years. The closest copy of Homer iliad to the original is 500 years which means that there was a lot of time for textual corruption and yet scholars dont dismiss the reliability of it. So just quit it with all the "bible is made up bible is a fairy tale" bullshit, it's been proven time and time again that the new testmanet is a reliable source of history
