Better reasons to quit Christianity

[spockrates]

What are they? 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.

Reasons? I really don't see any reasons to especially quit christianity.
A person might quit christianity with the following reasons, which are personal, and not general.

*Loss of faith, due to:
-personal conclusions about the existence of God in general
-personal conclusions about the correctness of christianity
-personal conclusions about the correctness of religions in general

Not sure I understand, KM. What makes a conclusion personal, and what makes a conclusion general?

Hi, HS. Actually, my parents were both agnostic and did not try to teach me anything about the God they did not know. I rebelled by becoming a Christian!

I agree life with a body would be far superior to life without one, if such is possible. (Which is one reason why I hope the Bible is correct when it speaks of a future resurrection of the bodies of those who will live forever in them.) But please tell me how you know it is impossible for the mind to exist apart from the brain. I guess what I'm asking is this: What is the mind?

My parents are atheists and they didnt force their ideas on me.

we exist because we think,we are certain of our existence.As soon this ends we are no more.
And why are you relaying your sources on  thousands of years old documents?
 
and for the end just  believing in god makes him real. 

Ever play the game in elementary school where the kids get in a long line and the teacher whispers something in the ear of the one at the front of the line? That kid whispers what she heard to the kid behind her, and she in turn whispers what the kid told her to the next one in line, and so on. Ask the kid at the end of the line what he was told and it is ridiculously different from what the teacher told the first one in line.

Even a child knows that passing on a message by word of mouth is unreliable. So if you were a god and wanted to convey some message that would be least likely to become distorted over time, how would you go about it?

Worst. Rebel. Ever.

Would have been a rebel if someone didn't think so!
