Christians. Prove That You Are Real/True Christians
RE: Christians. Prove That You Are Real/True Christians
Hmm, it seems I didn't get an answer.

I wonder if any theist wants to chip in. If you accept that belief in Jesus being the son of God is a requirement for being Christian, then the only way I can choose to be a Christian is by choosing to alter my actual brain to allow me to believe it. Would God prefer me to take such drastic action, and would he reward me for doing so? Or would he rather I stay as I am, and if so, am I going to be punished?

I'm simply not capable of believing such a claim on the current evidence. I didn't believe it when I was 5, and I've seen no new evidence since then. So to expect me to suddenly just believe it, even if I wanted to, is asking the impossible. So god and I have three options:

1- God can choose to supply more evidence to me
2- If he doesn't supply it, I can choose to augment my brain in an attempt to allow the required beliefs
3- If he doesn't, and I don't screw with my brain, I'll be a lifelong atheist, barring some sort of mental erosion as I get older

Would anyone like to comment on this? Smile

Or does anyone here want to state that I could choose to believe Jesus was the son of God? I could choose to say I believe it, but that doesn't mean I actually believe it.
