What Major Intellectual Issue Most Keeps You From Accepting The Christian Narrative?

[DLJ]

Hi Friends 

I hope this is the right sub-forum. I'm currently in a Christian apologetics class, and I have been assigned a project. I need to find a non or "ex" Christian and ask them what the most significant intellectual issue they find in the Christian narrative. Would anyone be willing to help me out with this? 

You would simply state the most important issue that discredits Christianity as a rational position,
...

Hmmm, that's tricky.

First you'd have to state the christian position (rational or otherwise).  I've found, in my many years of travel, that no two christians hold the exact same positions.  Hence I conclude that ...



In the Philippines, for example, I meet people who are not even aware that Jesus was deified by vote, Roman-style (they have no knowledge of Nicaea), there are some who think he was real human and others who think he actually created everything.

Honestly, it makes your head spin.      

And then please explain to me the purpose of an "apologetics class" as we don't have them where I live.  Is that where you are taught to apologise for the ills caused by christianity?

But if I had to pick one thing that troubles me most, I guess it's the antisemitism that led to the pogroms, purges and holocaust.

Why hate the Jews when the figurehead (or prototype, to use Kant's term) was a Jew?  

This is so pervasive that christians don't even realise that "New Testament" is a deliberately designed insult to us Jews.  

Instead of OT and NT, please try to persuade your class members to refer to The Tanakh and The Fake News Testament respectively.

Thank you.

I have a deep, intellectual struggle with Christian children asking me to do their schoolwork for them.  I never get that shyte from Buddhist kids.

Oops, my bad. As I was reading that I thought it was going to be... "I have a deep, intellectual struggle with Christian children asking me why their priest raped them."

Sorry about that.
