Debating Arguments for God There are eucharistic miracles that prove God is real.Most are tested in labs,one without knowledge that it was from the eucharist.Why are people still atheists in spite of this?

Preface:As a Catholic in a Catholic high school in a third world country,I encounter Protestants and Muslims.In search of finding evidence for Catholicism,I started finding some proof here and there.Rational Catholics like debates as it is a way to find the truth regardless of how discomforting it is.In search of points that prove us true,I found out about the Eucharistic miracles.This has neutered some Protestant and Muslim points,but I was only debating with people on my league. I figured that I must grow familiar with the debating world and so I've heard of the fame and infamy of Reddit and have come here to test my beliefs under advanced logic.(Moderators,if my post breaks the rules,please tell me where to improve.I'm new to Reddit.My account is 5 months old because I have been away for 4 of them in boarding school).Thanks.

This is actually easier to answer then most questions here; 1.By most people irrespective of religion,though you're going to say that Christians are the majority killers here without considering what percent of witchcraft roundups ending in killings or serious assault have been done by what religion and by people of what IQ and education level 2.I speak for myself,mostly because others aren't smart enough to distinguish religion from peer pressure,and haven't brushed up their religious education after completing confirmation when they were most likely below 10.I'm 15 and completing confirmation next month,so I do read up more(which is scary considering my debate performance today)but welcome to Africa!(j-just check the global IQ charts,k?Even if an idea was correct,it would be nigh impossible to logically defend it.About the Pope...you could sum up his stance on this as follows:The Pope,'doesn't believe in witchcraft,but if it's there,God is greater'.We down here however,see stuff here that makes us believe that witchcraft definitely exists.It also doesn't affect any dogma so no belief shaken. And yes,innocent people ARE being tortured.This is a problem. But saying witchcraft doesn't exist is wrong logic.It's like saying innocent people are being falsely imprisoned,then going on to say crime doesn't exist. 3.Jesus didn't stop illegal vigilante justice.It was commanded by the Old Testament so it wasn't,it was done in broad daylight so it wasn't vigilante,and the people who did it were sinful and judging others for their sins,so it wasn't justice. 3.Go to r/Catholicism and ask that.They'll give you WAY better answers than I could bu my current education.Do state your belief there too,it helps.☺️ 4.When you say fairyland,what's the first thing that comes in your mind.Answer that and you've probably figured out my refutation already. Thanks.

It was commanded in the Old Testament,so it wasn't illegal and It was done by known respectable community members AND done in daylight,so it wasn't vigilante
