This is sickening about Christianity: it preaches self-loathing.
You are driving 45mph in a 20mph school zone. A police officer pulls you over and writes you a ticket. The ticket is $150, 4 points off your license, and a mandatory appearance in court. On the day of the court appearance, you stand before the judge and say: "I know I broke the law, I'm sorry I did, and I take full responsibility for both my actions and I will fulfill the legal punishment for them." Is your statement one of self-loathing?
If it could be proven beyond doubt that God exists...
and that He is the one spoken of in the Bible...
would you repent of your sins and place your faith in Jesus Christ?
