Ok I admit it
March 2, 2014 at 7:17 pm
From a scientific and logical realm, Christianity seems to make no sense.
However what atheists neglect is the spiritual realm. There is so much visible power in the relationship believers have with God. It cannot be explained through reason, but only through a personal relationship with Jesus. Study the word without skepticism, ask Jesus to guide you, meditate on Gods's goodness, and ask about spiritual experience from those who have experienced it themselves.

DO you dismiss the "relationships" people of other religions have with their deities?
It can be explained. It's the NEED to believe in something greater than the world around you. To make you feel better about your mortality by inventing an afterlife.

Only Christians have a PERSONAL relationship with their SAVIOR.
Prove your claim.

In all seriousness, it is pretty obvious that religion does positive things for people in their personal lives. There is every reason to believe that people have a "spiritual" connection with whatever deity they believe in.
But there is NO evidence that those deities exist. It is a delusion that works for people. Nothing more. So no, I won't be turning my brain off to make it work for me.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Jesus is in your head. If you have a relationship with him you are making love to yourself. It's kind of like masterbation.
