So you are suggesting that the "afterlife" is part of nature and not "supernatural". Interesting. I can see why you would find the prospect of living after death alluring. But that there is something vital that lives on is just so obviously a piece of wishful thinking that it really doesn't stand up to scrutiny. You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid. Tinkety Tonk and down with the Nazis. 
Drich,
you honestly cannot think of one specific single thing not involving death or supernatural events that if true would disprove Christianity for you? Lying is a sin btw.

I'm sure he can't, and I understand why.
When you believe in something which demands that you accept it completely, fully and without reservation, there exists nothing which will dissuade you from that belief. If Jesus really did pull off the Second Coming, I am willing to bet that a majority of Christians would think he is an imposter if he acts in any way different from how they believe he should, or if he is not the long-haired gentle-faced caucasian man with a beard as he is generally depicted in Christian art. Could you imagine the reaction if Christ II preached for the acceptance of homosexuality because God is Love and appreciates all expressions of it?

I mean, as for the dying one, I can see that being a bit of a stretch, but the Bible is filled stories where god shows off his supernatural muscle just to prove himself to the people. As for the question 'what would prove to me that Christiaity is true,' I'm very open minded on that one. You show me the proof and as long as it holds up to a little research, I'll go with it. So far, I haven't seen anything that can hold my belief any longer than it takes to look it up on wikipedia.

Because everyone before mohammad is doomed to islam hell and everyone not born into whichever version is the current correct one is also going to islam hell. then I will believe that I might have been wrong about Christianity.

That you deliberately chose to interpret the sentence the way you did speaks volumes about your integrity and honesty. That you underscored your own deliberate misinterpretation with derisory laughter merely says you are a git. No wonder there's no agreement on more complex matters if you deflect the line of inquiry with the wording of a simple eight-word sentence. I submit that any meaningful dialogue with a person known for behaving in this sort of dickish way to avoid discussion is going to be impossible.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
