All the problems with Christianity

[Avodaiah]

you know how to add because someone taught you to do that, probably your parents or your kindergarten school teacher. If you weren't taught, you wouldn't know how to add beyond what can be demonstrably done.

God does not follow from knowing how to add.

From the simple fact that we know how to add, no, God does not follow from that. However, in the 2nd part of my argument I explained how the ability to add cannot come from us. If it did, we would be able to add instantaneously because we would always have this ability. The way it is now, we have to think and process problems with larger numbers, essentially waiting for this ability to come to us so we can know the solution. That means the ability to add doesn't come from us, so who does it come from? Someone who is in charge of our minds and our understanding, and who knows how to add.

How do you know it is a he? Or that it even has a gender as why would understand it?
Also which god? Is it allah? or Zororaoster? Or maybe mithra?

Agreed. This argument is not for Christianity. That's what my 2nd one is for.

You understand that not all prophecies are genuine. What percentage of prophecies in the Bible have to be true for you to know that it's the word of God. What about other books that contain prophecies that have come true?

Of course. Prophecy is one of the measures by which a book can be shown to come from God. That means if even one prophecy is conclusively proven false (i.e. promising something would not happen and then it did), the credibility of the whole book is reduced. If you take an honest look at prophecy, you will find that the Bible is among the mostreliable writings in that respect.
This is not to say that all the prophecies have been fulfilled, however. Some are fulfilled in ways people did not expect, and some have yet to be fulfilled.

But to covet something belonging to someone else isn't to resent or to hate them, it is to want what they have. 'Covet' means 'a desire to possess'. The commandment is an impossible one to follow, since covetousness is a feeling, not an act. Every person - every single one - has look at another's possession and thought, 'Gosh, I wish that was mine'. This commandment doesn't prohibit an action, but a thought.

If you look at someone else's possession with covetousness, that doesn't mean you think it would be nice to have and you'd like to have one too; it means you want that one, instead of them. Whether it is by stealing it, manipulating them into giving it to you, or some other way, you want it to be yours instead of theirs.

But Matthew 6, in context, is exhorting people to be more concerned about Heavenly rewards than with earthly necessities. It says to take NO thought for tomorrow - don't worry if your child is sick, or if the rent won't get paid or if your car won't start. We wouldn't be human if we didn't have such concerns. This has nothing to do with embracing 'every little fear', but is a mark of foresight and prudence on the part of responsible people. This instruction is - again - an impossible one for normal people to take to heart.

You're right about a couple things; for one, we should be more concerned about Heavenly things than earthly ones. But it does not exhort people not to plan for the future. The NASB says, "do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on." (6:25) True, it gives examples of birds and flowers that God provides for, and Jesus uses those examples to show that God can provide for His creation, but He does not say that foresight and prudence are wrong.

He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; and he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.

This is absolutely right. In every way, God is more important than any other person. But it does not say that we should not love our family, in fact, we should love them because of oyur love for God. God created them with a purpose, and the fact that they're living on Earth shows that they have a chance to begin or continue to fulfill that purpose.

Within 10 years of George Washington's death stories grew up of him throwing silver dollars across the Potomac and never telling lies.
...
These stories were horseshit but they did find their way into American folklore. Please do not pretend to understand history if you don't.

So you're saying that no historical writing is truly reliable? Well, to an extent you're right. Unless we were there, anything we know about Jesus's life and ministry are 2nd and 3rd-hand news.
That said, there is at least one good reason to believe that what the Gospels said really happened.

3 For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, 5 and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. 6 Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep.

What this part is saying is that anyone who didn't believe Paul could ask one of literally hundreds of people who saw Jesus's ministry (or at least the latter part of it) for themselves, and this lends credibility to the Gospels as well. Many people, including the authors themselves, were still alive when the letters were written, including the writers themselves.
