Christian Paradox

Christian Paradox
I'd like to ask any agnostics or atheist, who have previously believed in a God, what Paradoxes in Christianity, or any religion, could you identify that caused reasonable doubt?


I've heard a lot of terms previously unfarmiliar to me in theese forums like apologetic, different types of fallacies, etc. I appreciate the insights and am thankful for being a member. Now, every thread I've started is just a question and( as of yet) hasn't turned into a sermon. It may be poorly worded or misleading. I think this question is pretty straight forward, though. If I have to state some idea or belief before you post a reply please don't bother replying. If you doubt my sincerity please don't reply. Hopefully some open and honest discussions here can lead to some personal revelations. Thanks and have a great week!

Now wait a minute... how in heaven can a pair of socks be christian?

Oh wait.....

nevermind.

I would say the whole trinity thing. Three persons/entities does not equal one and visa versa.
I used to tell a lot of religious jokes. Not any more, I'm a registered sects offender.

The problem of evil, the Bible being the word of God (whether inspired or literal, the lack of historical evidence for Jesus, evolution vs Adam and Eve all chipped away at my Christianity until I finally lacked belief.

Don't be silly, socks can't be Christian or go to heaven. On the other hand, shoes can go to heaven if they lead a good life. You see, it turns out that shoes have souls!

Seconded! Several neurons in my brain just commited suicide so they wouldn't have to maintain the synaptic pathways related to that coment!

could you please be more specific on the problem of evil?

Would you mind terribly being slightly more specific? Particular fallacies or illogical prardoxis would be great.


Thank for all the responces so far (-minus the sole joke Confused)
