That does not make a bit of difference in the truth claim though. Each religion needs to be a) weighed on whether it is internally consistent, b) consistent with our observations of the world, c) has a well-defined image of God (tying that all back to a and b), and d) bears fruit.
And have you judged every religion my these criteria?
I'm betting you haven't even judged your own pet belief since internal consistency is on your list.
Yes. What is not internally consistent? You do realize that there are millions of books on doctrine and theology hashing this all out. You are not pointing out anything that has not been asked and answered. Your problem is that you are looking at it from a perspective that God does not exist so all the finer points are BS and then since all the finer points are BS, conclude that Christianity has not answered these questions it needs to answer so God does not exist.
