If so, please explain why. If not, please explain why a logical person should still not become, or remain Christian.

Yes Christianity is illogical because it takes the power away from the human. In most other faiths, redemption is done by the will of the person and is not a gift freely given.

Believing in something for which there is no evidence comes across as illogical to me, not to mention all the logical fallacies inherent in religion.

Thanks for replying, Polaris. In what way does Christianity weaken the Christian?

There isn't just no limits your dishonesty. Ahw well, bye.

Well it weakens the Christian because they take less ownership of their own lives; the more their faith increases, the more dependent they become towards God.

Hi, Tobie. How do you know there is no evidence?

In what way have I been dishonest?

Shifting the burden of proof, you take your god as logical by default, and claiming other people to provide explanations of why shouldn't we believe. It was a nice rehash try of that old chestnut, hence dihonest by its nature of being a plain petitio principii.

Well it weakens the Christian because they take less ownership of their own lives; the more their faith increases, the more dependent they become towards God.

But isn't true that we are all slaves to something, or someone? I know many Christians who feel liberated by their faith, rather than enslaved. The God in whom the trust sets them free from the evil they hate in themselves, and free to do the good they are too weak to do alone. Rather than weaken them, God empowers them, they say.

They at first become liberated, but only end up enslaved once more.
