I'm taking a survey which I hope might generate some thoughtful discussion.
How would you finish this sentence: "Christianity can't be true because..."
Answers I've heard before include:
- Because there’s no such thing as truth.
- Because the church has done horrible things.
- Because the bible is anti-homosexuality.
- Because the big bang disproves God.
- Because evolution disproves the bible.
- Because there’s no historical evidence for Jesus.
- Because the bible has been changed over the years.
Can you think of any others? Please comment. Thanks!
Nice going!
