Christian Paradox

[fr0d0]

After making a claim that 50% of the UK population is lying about their religious views, the best thing to do would be to provide a credible source.

Thanks.

I did. I guess it's how you read it.

You appear to have no idea what Christianity is about, based on what you've said here so far. In the interest of changing that impression... please set out your reasoning for believing when you did believe. If it was irrational, it was no reason to believe.

I asked you to provide an explanation of what Christianity is about. I'm patiently awaiting your response. I'm serious now. Don't dodge the topic.

The topic was tangental. I took no serious request for an answer. Since you wish to force the issue, I have no problem in answering, as always... Christianity is belief in Christ. A rationally held position in the belief in God.

Thankyou for answering. Except you either didn't answer or you are admitting that you had no rational reason to believe. This was mere lip service (taken from your own words... please correct me if I'm wrong). Children just accept and don't consider much, but still there must be rational reasoning to assume a position of belief.. it is unacceptable to God to believe without thought.

I do appreciate your answer though.

I find it hilarious that religious people look at other religious people who do things that they don't agree with, then revert to the argument "Well he wasn't a REAL Christian anyway".

That cracks me up.

We can't judge the person, just the act. If someone does something that is the opposite of Christ like then that person could be judged as doing something anti Christ. Do you think there's a line to step over that would make someone perfect/ Christ like forever?

I'm saying your faith is based on SOMETHING, a subjective experience you perceive as knowledge of the divine.

You seem to place importance on this. All this is is the manifestation of belief. It cannot be it's foundation. I believe in God because I rationalise him to be.

Exactly my point. You're using rationalization to support your belief.

No I rationalised to get to my belief. No amount of circumstantial evidence alters that, or will influence my decision should I rationalise 'not' belief.
