Why do Christians become Christians?

[abaris]

So, you are saying that you know why people become Christians and its not for the reasons they think. Do you really think that is a defensible position?

Yes. First, because there aren't only christians but an abundance of religions with christians making up a minority of the world's overall population. Not to speak of the thousands of different christian groups, sects and schisms. And secondly, as I have pointed out when saying I'm probably talking to a brick wall, do your homework on other social species and how they compare to us when it comes to seeking the security of a group.

You argued from the god of the gaps position. That's fine, you're not comfortable with simply not knowing all the inner workings of the universe. So your answer is to insert god. Your god, to be precise. Which isn't even the only christian god, going by all the different interpretations. But then you have to be comfortable being compared to the classic caveman. Not being able to explain anything in nature, therefore turning the unexplained into gods. It's the same position, only a few thousands of years later. Maybe from a higher level of knowledge, since I don't know what you even accept as scientific answers. If you're a young earth creationist, I'm done in any case, since it seems futile to debate that kind of position.
