A simple challenge for atheists

[FatAndFaithless]

Hey Steve, mind giving me a response to this post:

The attestation of the crucifixion. Without that portion, it ALL unravels. Perhaps you are unaware of its importance. That God took on the form of a man to be a final sacrifice to bridge the gap so that man can have a relationship with his creator.

But according to Islam, Jesus was never crucified, nor was he the son of god. How can you prove them wrong?


You're using ideas that are only persuasive if you already believe in Christianity. The crucifiction doesn't mean jack shit to either an unbeliever or this hypothetical muslim. How can it be persuasive to either of us?

I'm asking you to refute this muslim's reasoning, but you're just responding with "well their religion doesn't have X, so it's wrong" (X being the crucifixion), while the crucifiction is totally irrelevant to islam, and says nothing about the justification for this muslim's beliefs.

In the same vein, the muslim could simply reply that since you don't have the most important pillar of islam in your faith (The Shahada), your faith just unravels. Would that be at all convincing to you?

I'm imploring you to look at this issue from something other than your own viewpoint for one second.
