Evidence for Christianity

[Captain Scarlet]

@dqualk. Firstly thank you for your first thorough reply. All these points are of course arguable. But from a historical perspective and by your own admission, the catholic church was not a bastion of steadfast resistance to the Nazi regime and was complicit in some quarters. Making the view that you promoting from Einstein rather one of rose coloured spectacles from a man who fled the regime when it came to power in 1933 and landed (and was seeking citizenship) in a country which was mainly catholic. A wise political move if not a wholly historically true one.

There are many points I disagree with in your statements, but I only want to pick up on onewhich is outrageous

Pope does sit in the Vatican with a list of who is naughty and who is nice and began excommunicating the naughty ones. The Church only excommunicates members officially when it is in the best interest of the Church. The fact is Canon Law automatically excommunicates bad people for mortal sins. So all of these people were de facto excommunicated, the Pope did not need to dig up every name to excommunicate each person.

The above is weasel words and behavious. What morally serious person could argue that the Nazis responsible for killing millions of jews in cold blood, should not be officially excommunicated, but that a man who marries a protestant should be. But then catholicism makes little sense anyway. If it is wrong, it is wrong and the church should have stood up; as a matter of historic fact they did not. So much for being Gods representatives.

Unaddressed are a host of other points about your 'evidence' for christianity. Take time to respond.
