The more you critically analyze what Jesus said and examine how he lived his life (all of it, not just what you learned in Sunday school), the harder he is to defeat. I'm not preaching Jesus to you, I'm saying that if you want to turn people away from Christianity, that's who you have to compete with, and there's a reason Christianity has survived for 2000 years and still has the same effect today as it did back then.
Oh, I'm sure you believe atheism is enlightenment, and I know a lot of people in this forum think we theists are idiots who just don't understand atheism, but when you have someone like Jesus Christ talking about God...well, just imagine sitting down with him--a love so great it can take in all evil--and trying to convince him there is no God. If you can convince him, you can convince me.
