What makes your faith true?

[Fake Messiah]

That's not even close to what I said. I said they were influenced by Satan or someone through selfish motivation started those religions. Satan is not going to start a public religion where he is worshiped directly, he is the great deceiver of men, he works behind the scene.

Works behind the scene and that's not close? And still manages to have more peaceful religions then Jesus. Don't forget quote by Carl Sagan: "The fact is that far more crime and child abuse has been committed by zealots in the name of God, Jesus and Mohammed than has ever been committed in the name of Satan. Many people don’t like that statement, but few can argue with it."

There are satanic cults and you do not see them making public displays.

Oh but I do see them. Just last year Satanists have submitted application to install a Baphomet statue in the Arkansas Capitol. Also few months ago group of Christians disrupted a satanic prayer during a council meeting in Pensacola, Florida and so on.

Christianity is much different than the other religions of the world. Why do you think it's attacked by all the other religions.

And when Christians attack other religions that's different? How?

I'm not sure where you got that from it would help if you explained in detail, l do not know of any such denomination.

Really? For instance Jehovah's Witnesses are known worldwide for refusing to go to war and they see in the Bible that to properly serve Jesus is not to go to war:

I will not allow you to mock me over this and I'm not the only Christian who has responded to you in this manner in this thread

Well it is a logical question and I was wondering how you were coping personally with that. Or how do we know that Jesus wasn’t just a man who died like every other person?
Your answer is that you feel it, but that's a bad reason because for starters it leads you to believe Gandhi will burn in Hell along with Hitler and that sort of "feeling" approach to world is wrong. How comfortable would you be if you had a feeling-reliant surgeon who said, "No need for x-rays or blood tests, I know there is a tumor in your brain, so I'm going in. Thanks to feeling, I'm 100 percent certain that it's there." If faith and feelings are enough to declare that a god is real, then why not tumors too?


Oh and when it comes back that I should study the Bible more and probably start going to church and I will find Jesus. That Jesus will be revealed to me if I show faith in him, but it sounds a lot like trying to voluntarily induce a delusion. If I try my absolute best to believe in Zeus, would he become real too? If I attend ceremonies at a Hindu temple and pray to Hindu gods for a few years, might they become real to me too?

Sure if I took on some religion and chose to look only at the good parts and dismissed all the bad ones and left out all rationality to think that easily explainable phenomenons are signs from god I would start to believe that was a real and good god. But that is also a tactic that dictators use. They only allow good positive stuff to be written and said about them to create illusion they are really good and kind people, but when you look at the whole picture you see a monster.

Take simple reasoning like the prayer of a mother, spoken aloud or thought in silence, as she embraces her suffering and dying baby: "I beg you, God, save my baby. Please, God, don’t let her die." Prayer for the baby is the most innocent and worthy of rescue of anyone. It’s about as sincere and unselfish as any prayer could be. And Jesus said "And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive" and yet every hour thousand kids under age of 5 die in horrible torment.
