Better reasons to quit Christianity

[Tea Earl Grey Hot]

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.

Well, I wouldn't say it's complete waste of time. You'd expect that a book inspired by God would at least have not single error or contradiction, no matter how insignificant. Of course, Christians just either deny the contradictions, or make up excuses for them (like, it's not really completely inspired but only inspired guesses etc). Ultimately though, they're just ad hoc explanations for why the evidence doesn't match the predictions of what we'd expect if there was a Christian God.

The main reason I don't believe Christianity any more is the lack of evidence that it's true. Christianity doesn't have any more evidence that it's true than does Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Mormonism, etc.

I would expect that the one true religion would just have massive amounts of undeniable evidence but no, it doesn't have any better evidence than the other religions. And it also has the same problems too as all the other religions, such as God's and or the supernatural's sudden silence during the start of the modern scientific era. But then of course, the Christian will pull more ad hoc explanations out of their ass. "God has the perfect explanation for why his one true religion seems just as stupid as all the hundreds of false ones!" "God has the perfect explanation for making the world appear that he doesn't exist!" "God is just a little shy!"

So, mainly why I "quit" Christianity, was the severe lack of evidence that it is true, coupled with the lack of evidence you'd expect to see assuming it were true. Though, the former point is a much stronger reason than the latter.
