Just like you can’t prove yours. So what’s your point?

The point is the church is a waste of time unless it can prove there is a god or a heaven.

What would you accept as proof?

Let’s start with Christ.
Many people hold the illogical position that the life of Jesus can not be proven scientifically. Well, of course He can’t, no more than George Washington can be proven scientifically. Both have to be approached by examining the historical record. Where a lot of people go wrong is by hold the records of Christ to a higher standard that that of other historical figures.

So those for whom church is not a waste of time are just delusional? How about those to whom it brings peace of mind and comfort? Doesn’t matter because YOU don’t approve?

No wonder you think church is a waste of time, you are asking it to do something it isn’t intended to do. Churches cannot prove things of faith. That is why it is called “faith” and not “logic” or “reason”. It is something entirely different.

If I could prove to you there is a God are you prepared to give your life for Him?
