Quote:Why is it all done in such a way that, were the stories man-made/imagined, nothing would be required to change in the physical world we have around us?
Why must I delude myself that god exists before I have any experience of this god?
Why are all current "experiences" of the divine so camouflaged and mental that the only rational explanation for them is "man-made/imagined"?
Why, if god presented itself to some humans, can't it present itself to all humans?
Why, if god presented itself to some humans in one way (J.C, for example), did it present itself to other humans in a different way (e.g. Mohamed), giving rise to different religions and all the hardship and war those have brought on the world?
The reason why I responded the way that I did was because you are asking a whole lot of questions that each have good answers to them, but you aren't arguing your points, you are just stacking up question after question. Do you know how to argue?
Why should any of these be seen as obstacles to Christian belief? Can you put any of these in language that shows why they are actually contradictory with Christianity, as opposed to things that you don't like? I could come up with my own list of questions, for instance:
Why did God make winter long?
Why does winter suck so bad?
If God is a nice person, why doesn't God give me a nicer house?
Etc. Where does the contradiction lie in your questions? What is it that you are trying to show that is actually contradictory or demonstrates Christianity is untrue, versus it doesn't seem plausible from your perspective.
I already answered one of them about Christianity and Islam. If you just put 100 vaguely defined contradictions between what you want and Christianity, as soon as I type 200-300 pages and somesay "LOL LOOK AT THAT MORON", the thread will end. Where is the contradiction? Can you put it in formal logic?
