10 Questions Every Christian Needs To Answer.

[Strongbad]

1. How is the method by which you became a Christian reliable?

*Answered from the perspective of a Christian. And yes, I am qualified to do so. Having been raised in the Deep South, in a Christian family, I have heard Christian responses to similar questions many many times.

1. I became a Christian, like virtually ALL Christians do, because my parents were Christian, as were their parents, and theirs, and so on. If you are taught Christianity by other Christians, then of course the method is reliable.

2. Apart from church dogma, how can you know what happens when we die?

We Christians have supernatural powers - not only do we know what can't be known, we know it with our hearts (whereas in a non-Christian, the heart is a muscle that pumps blood and is incapable of thought).

3. What if you and your silly bible are wrong and there is no heaven, hell or afterlife of any kind?

You are free to take you're chances!

4. If you are God's unthinking lacky, how can you call yourself moral? Do you really think morality is simply a question of rule following?

Morality is determined by God, and I follow God's moral teachings, therefore I am moral.

5. Even if there is a God, you are obviously free to do what you want. The prisons are full of Christians. Do you or do you not believe God gave man free will?

The people in prisons who call themselves Christians aren't really Christians, otherwise they wouldn't be in prison.

6. If all you do is follow God's rules, how does your life have any meaning? What makes it your life?

Because glorifying God gives my life meaning. His glory is graceful and his grace is glorious.

7. Where did that which you believe created the universe come from? (And if anything can always have existed, why not the universe and all its prior conditions?)

Because God, by definition, has always existed. The universe is not defined that way.

8. What about miracles? Aside from the most ridiculous claims, wouldn't most of what technology makes possible today have seemed miraculous to the ancients? So what's the big deal?

Miracles can only be believed by the faithful. If you don't believe they can occur, then they don't.

9. What’s your view of Dawkins, Hitchens and Harris? Do you read anything else but the bible?

Hitchens is already burning in hell; Dawkins and Harris will soon follow.

10. If there is but one God, then why does every society have a different religion? [Props to Jenny.]

Unless every society follows the one true Living God (Yahweh), then they are following a false god, and will burn in hell after they die.
