I used to believe the same thing.
Somewhere between the age of 17 to 21....
I woke up.
I used to think, well, If science can or cannot prove this...
The more I studied the physical world.. the more my eyes began to open.
The "concrete" proof you look for is... what?
You do not describe the definition of "concrete proof".
The very choice of your word "concrete" is in and of Itself negative in It's context!
Even your question contradicts Itself!
You ask for validation from someone you say, doesn't exist!
I don't know how old you are, but the proof of God's existence stares you in the face everyday of your life.
EVERYDAY.
You simply, being the fragile, skeptical human being that you are, as we all are, fail to recognize It.
One time ago, a question was posed to me.
"Hey, Big Mr. U.... who was the greatest artist that ever lived?"
Of course, I thought of Rembrandt, Michelangelo, etc.
I was young, as I'm sure you are....
but yet I really thought long and hard about this question.
The examples that I thought of... the more I contemplated this question, didn't (at the time) make sense.
What I thought I loved really did'nt connect to what I could actually see...
That no human being could ever "create".
If I never saw a bird fly, if I never saw a waterfall, snow falling from the sky, how could I ever be able to "imagine" such things, and put them in stone, or paint for the world to see?
Now, who is the greatest artist?
Study biology, and science... the questions you have will be amazing.
God does exist.
You are living proof.

We are not God, so that might be between you and Him. Jesus forgave the thief on the cross next to him, and when the thief asked if he could go with him, Jesus said to him, that he would be in Heaven with him. Religion is faith, and if faith could be proven, then so could a lot of things, black holes, dark matter in the universe, etc. We are not God, so don't try to figure it all out. You will already be too old and be dead. You either accept it, or take your chances. What do you have to lose but your eternity if it is true. What do you gain, everything. Who is smart in this? You are saying, since I can't figure it all out, and be God, and have all his knowledge, then He cannot exist. Good luck. . .

God has so much tolerance the fact we exist now with all we have been doing is concrete proof. There is plenty of evidence,but it is in the eye of the beholder.

there is concrete proof... like the new proof of moses and the sea of reed and how they find evidence of this and the slaves escaping and being chased by knights... im going to say this bc its confusing...
its said that moses crossed the red sea and and water split... slaves also followed him... there was a misreading in that and it was actually the sea of reed.. people decided to investigate further in this and found that there was armor from the knights chasing the slaves and the water coming back down on them drowning them.... the sea of reed is only 12 foot deep, not too deep but deep enough to drown...
proof is there just ultimately overlooked by millions

Yes it should! And personally I believe that if it does exist, it really has this tolerance thing in it, otherwise would evaporate some of us, the atheists! I think you have heard the story of Lord Russell with that old woman who asked him after one of his blasphemous lectures: "excuse me, but what if you die right now and see that God exists? What will you tell him then?" And he responded: "I will say, excuse me god, but there was so little evidence about you!!"

You, yourself, your very being is the concrete proof of His existence!!! How do you think you came about? Is it not by "Intelligent Design?"

He has tolernce, but we try to stay away from it to show our faith in Him. As for the concrete proof......look in a mirror. You and everything around you is proof that he is real

I think he definately should have the tolerence as it was his choice of not letting us have the proof of his existance,,,,,,,,,,or are we too proud and vain not to recogonise his existance

NO and i say that because everyone has the opportunity to get to know him and follow his commandments and whomever decided that they want to wait to actually see him to believe then i'm sorry it's to late.
in the bible he said that in the end time the non believers will believe but then it'll be to late he'll turn his head on them like they did to him
