There is no evidence nor logical reason to believe that he was born of a virgin, died for our sins, resurrected 3 days later and watches over us judging our every action and thought. There is no explainable reason why metaphorically eating his flesh and drinking his blood every Sunday brings you closer to him. If you had never heard the story of Abraham or Jesus and someone you met told you that this is what they believed you would sincerely think that they were mentally ill.
There is no evidence...at all...apart from a few miracle slices of toast but I don't find that conclusive.
Superstition and stupidity to continue to prevail.
I'm ashamed to live in a world where we can put a man on the moon (cue debate) and still have people that believe in talking snakes.
I'm embarrassed that over half the human population believe in a God that is all knowing and all powerful yet watches over the cruelties of our world with no interest. A deity that has the ability to create the entire universe and all its complexities but somehow has the time to police wether you eat bacon or not.
Sigh.
You've demonstrated you can only parrot what others say and you're like most here you apply Catholic beliefs to all Christians, please study a bit and bring something new, it's tiring to read the same old things said over and over and over.
Welcome to the forum,

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
