So what holds true for one will not for all or even the majority most of the time... Thats why I say Christians are a minority.....1000's of differnt denominations .. lolz...
Faith is a cop-out...
If the only way you can accept an assertion is by faith, then you are conceding that it can't be taken on its own merits. It is intellectual bankruptcy. With faith you don't have to put any work into proving your case you can "just believe"......Dan Barker
Christianity seems to be made up of many different religions who all worship the same god except none of them want to admit that other Christians think differently than they do. Before I can even have a respectful debate with a Christian, I have to determine which particular beliefs system they hold because if I get one fact incorrect, the other person will decide that I know anything about their entire faith and so they can ignore everything I say.
Of course, faith is blind. If you think too hard about Christianity, it makes no sense.
