Christianity Is The BEST Religion....

[polymath257]

Actually, the BEST religion is Wicca.  Why?  Because Wiccans never come to my door and threaten me with punishment for not believing in the Goddess.

Gimme that Old Time Religion!

I don't need 100% certainty.  I believe that the probability of the Jesus stories being true is infinitesimally small, so 99.999...% certainty is fine for me.

 So, because something seems far-fetched, that means (for you atheists) it doesn't exist, am I right?

Not only that it is far-fetched. To the extent the claims of Christianity can be tested (age of the Earth, Exodus, etc), they have been found to be false.

As for the existence of God, I don't see any specific evidence of such. But I *do* see specific evidence of radio waves (my radio, my phone, etc). So, even if I was to regard radio waves as 'far-fetched', the evidence would convince me of their existence. Even more so, I can *test* to see whether the description of radio waves stated by Maxwell's equations agrees with the actual observations.

Don't forget that radio waves were predicted by the science before they were *detected*. Now, what method could you use to detect your God? And can those methods show that we detected *your* God, as opposed to that of Islam, or Judaism, or Thor, or Zeus, or Apollo, or any number of other mythological deities people have made up for their own comfort?

As for Christianity being the 'best' religion. I have to disagree. It is better than some (Islam is often worse) and worse than others (Judaism is pretty decent often), but they *all* fail to support their belief in supernatural entities.

So which is best and which is worse is irrelevant: they *all* fail to show why I should believe in them.
