Even if theism is a failure, it's still superior to atheism

Mister Agenda: i understand.  Christ didnt say to hate our families, though: he said to love him more than our families.  if we put our family above all things,  we fall into sin quickly because that's rooted in bias and favoritism, which isnt the truth: everyone should be treated equally.  by loving Christ first, we will deal with our families the same way we would all others.

Why do you believe that the words of Jesus exist in any extant document?  Jesus never wrote anything, as he, like his immediate followers, was illiterate.

What do you base that on? Simply because Jesus didn’t write doesn’t necessarily mean that he couldn’t write. 

While the overall literacy rate in Roman Judea/Palestine was probably around 3%, that of adult males Jews in cities and towns has been estimated to be as high as 20-25%.
