Reason for asking: I've been told by thoughtful atheists that looking for logical contradictions in Christian beliefs, or within the pages of the Bible is a waste of time. The explanation given is that there are much better reasons to give up on being Christian. I'm just wondering what the better reasons are so I can try them on and see how they fit.
I read a few pages into this appalling thread, and I'm totally grossed out by your inability to see how dumb this is. What reason do you have for not being a Muslim? If you spend your whole life worshiping this prophet, when you die, you'll lose.
You should give up on being a Christian because it makes you an infidel and a blasphemer. You should give up on being a christian because the Koran says that Islam is the one true religion. Give it up because your mortal soul is at stake!
Maybe you should give it up because the messiah hasn't arrived to earth yet. Yahweh is displeased with your worship of this sinner who falsely professed to be the son of god. You should seek out a temple and talk to a rabbi about how you can convert to the one true religion.
Perhaps you're displeasing Kama, Serapis, Jupiter, Odin, Zeus, Quetzalcoatl, Isis, Krishna, or Ishtar. You could really lose out on the afterlife if you don't start worshiping the right deity. Think about it.
