Christianity Can't Be True Because...
August 29, 2016 at 10:53 pm
Hi, I'm a Christian genuinely interested in athiest's views about God and/or Jesus.
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!

Christianity is not true because I actually read the bible using critical thinking skills.

Ah. Let me start by making one thing clear. As an atheist, I don't claim that a divine being does not exist. I just don't accept the claims that one exists until there is acceptable evidence.
Now with that being said, Christianity has too many contradictions in its teachings to be accurate even if there is some divine being.
I don't believe you. Get over it.

You shouldn't believe everything you read....or else you'll end up thinking these guys are actual Christians.

I wonder if someone in the past ever tried that in literary form? False representation I mean...

Why would I want to complete that sentence when the first half is already false?
I'll just give you a whole new sentence instead.
I do not believe in the Christian God because I have never seen any convincing evidence of its existence.
