The Reasons to Believe in Yahweh

The Reasons to Believe in Yahweh
A POST FOR CHRISTIANS:

Most of us realize that there have been countless man-made (yet fake) gods created (and worshiped) throughout history (Zeus, Horus, Isis, Apollonius of Tyana, Mithra, etc).

So my question is simple, why do you believe in Yahweh, and reject the rest?

Please present your best ("A Game") evidence/arguments and withhold from long winded preaching, proselytizing, or provoking.

I would say the most common answer would be.
"my parents were <insert religion here>"



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

Prediction: no theist will reply.

They have no reasons.... just feelings and a book that feeds those feelings.

I predict they will point how their deity is different than the others.

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.

We did a thread on this topic not tto long ago. IIRC it focused mostly on comparisons to Islam and Muhammed's lack of miraculous signs, and may have touched on the Greek mythology toward the end. In short, the evidence for Christianity is better than for other religions, as we know more about its prophets.

You're joking right? Miracle bullshit aside. Muhammad was a real historical figure. There is no historical evidence for the life of Jesus anywhere. There are no contemporaries. The Bible is merely reporting heresy on someone called Jesus claiming to be a demi-god-thingy.

Of course not. How could our parents be wrong?! They have the one true god. [Image: facepalm.gif]

Better evidence, or stronger claims? I once heard (read) someone claiming that Muhammad's excuse for not performing miracles was weak, therefore Christianity has more evidence. When, in fact, neither can be proven to have done what they did, miracle or not. Does it really boil down to which one has more miracle claims, and which has more made up stories about it? Also, this is argued from a perspective that assumes one religion must be right, and that atheism is not a viable option. If it weren't, then the arguement wouldn't be made at all.
