Why Catholics Are Right

[Rev. Rye]

1) Fatima (70,000 people witnessed the miracle of the sun.)

And, despite the fact that the sun should, in theory, have been visible to about a billion other people at that point in time, nobody outside of Portugal managed to witness the miracle of the Sun.

2) Garabandal (Thousands witnessed unnatural behaviors during apparitions from 1961 to 1965)

Even the Church hasn't endorsed the apparitions at Garabandal. Why do you expect Atheists to believe it?

4) Risen Christ!

An event which has no more contemporary documentation than Abraham Lincoln's moonlighting as a Vampire Hunter.

5) People getting martyred in the first century! Historical facts supported by secular sources of first century Christians getting martyred. If it was a grand hoax, these people would have all been letting themselves get killed for a known lie!!! Why!? Because they walked during the years of Jesus' ministry. Or their parents spoke of what they SAW with their own eyes! Nobody and I mean nobody dies for a lie. Oh! People will die for what they believe to be true...like Muslims and Christians of our day but those 1st Christians were unique. They're just one of countless proofs about the truth of Christianity.

Any sufficiently popular ideology can inspire martyrs, especially in its early years. Even the Nazis had their own martyrs. Oh, and speaking of dying for a lie: Look here. If a man dying because he believes that he can eat the liver of a poisonous fish isn't more foolish than dying for the sake of a teacher one admires, than I don't know what is.


P.S., since you seem to have read the book, does the author actually go about proving how wafers and wine can literally turn into blood and flesh without one's tongue noticing, or does he just gripe about how he believes that Catholicisim is the only lifestyle that it's okay to be prejudiced against?
