The Paradox of Power....

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

If christianty didn’t exist

That phrase is problematic from the start. ALL religions 'exist'. I think what you meant to say is 'If Christianity weren't true'. But let's carry on.

1. No relationship with God

Oh, don't be daft. People can have a relationship with God with or without Christianity. That's what imaginary friends are for.

2. No Path to heaven

Paths to heaven are no more difficult to find than are paths to The Emerald City, or to Hobbiton.

3. Don’t have a true aim and purpose in life

See, this is what makes all religionists (except possible Unitarians, Jedi and Wiccans) sanctimonious bigots. The notion that someone can't have a 'true aim and purpose in life' without adhering to your own idiotic and imaginary guidelines is anathema to both common sense and to the evidence at hand.

4. No inner Peace and Joy

See response to #3.

5. No Reconcillation

I've got about as much need and reason to be reconciled with God as I have with Father Christmas.

6. No Forgiveness of sins

I don't sin, so this one doesn't matter much.

7. No Freedom

When everything you do, everything you say, everything you think is done for the upfront purpose of currying favour with God, then you've got a funny definition of the word 'freedom'.

8. Don’t have a healthy body and mind

So...all Christians are healthy of body and mind? There are no Christians with cancer or dementia? Gosh, that'd be so great if it were true.

9. No knowledge,understanding and wisdom about God and Life

I know as much about God as anyone (nil = nil). I feel I know a good deal more about life than people who only read things they already agree with.
