What Major Intellectual Issue Most Keeps You From Accepting The Christian Narrative?

[wheatpenny]

I'm a bit late to this thread and the topic seems to have drifted, but there are 3 intellectual issues that make the Christian narrative hard to accept, and were major stumbling-blocks for me when I was a believer.

1. Young Earth Creationism (despite what Old Earth Creationists and theistic evolutionists claim, this IS exactly what the author of Genesis believed and tried to convey to his readers.)

2. Global flood. Again, this is what Moses (or whoever it was that wrote Genesis) intended his readers to understand. There is zero evidence for such a large flood.

3. The infamous Talking Donkey. I don't care what anyone says, a donkey's vocal mechanism is incapable of producing the sounds that human speech requires.
