Religious Background

RE: Religious Background
(July 5, 2017 at 6:50 pm)SteveII Wrote: The difference is that compared to other religions, Christianity has a much large body of evidence (to a significant degree) in which to draw conclusions.  

Islam makes no significant claims about anything that rises to the level of a body of evidence.  The entire religion is based on what went on in the head of one person.  If you know of other evidence that Muslims claim, let me know. 

Regarding Hinduism, there were centuries or millennium between when the events were supposed to have happened and when they were cataloged. That really can't be called a body of evidence either. 

Listen, if a person is set in their minds there is no God, very little will move them off that position. However, the vast majority of the population of the earth believes in the supernatural. So if most people have no trouble in believing the supernatural, then Christianity is the most evidenced and philosophically sound choice. This claim is supported by the fact it is the most freely chosen religion to convert to. 

No worries about the last post. Sorry if I over-reacted.

Bolded: It has to do with the fact that there is zero evidence to support the existence of God.
Italics: That just means there are many delusional people in this world.
