Why Christianity?

[Jenny A]

The arguments support Christianity because Christianity is true. But they do not support the other religions because those religions are false.

I know some Muslims who would say the same of Islam.  So, as an outsider how would I choose between you?

Sorry, but that argument is idiotic. A 4 year old would make a better effort.

A question I always ask Christians is, "What arguments do you have to support your beliefs that a Hindu, Jewish, or Muslim does not? In other words, if I accept your notion that the universe must have had a creator, why couldn't it have been Thor or Ba'al? Even if I accept that prayer works, why must it be Yahweh answering them and not Allah or The Flying Spaghetti Monster?"

Every time I ask any version of these questions I get either radio silence or a quick, sudden change of the topic. Because of my many failed attempts at asking these questions in real life, I decided to ask these questions here.

Appearently you've only ever ask kids in high school or coming out of a sunday school class who don't know, (their are those that yoopung who do.)
Because their is a real simple answer to your question, which basically asks: how do you know God is not a false God like the others.

(I'm assuming you know why a FALSE god could not create anything)

So how do we know God is real?
Because in the bible their is a set of instructions for those looking to find God. Follow the instructions and you will be able to directly two communicate to God. God will validate Himself if you can follow said instructions.

Try again.

It's real because the bible says so is as stupid as Chad's argument. Everyone says that, regardless if christian, jew or muslim. The only thing changing is the book in question.

So how do we know Allah is real?
Because in the Quran there is a set of instructions for those looking to find Allah. Follow the instructions and you will be able to directly communicate to Allah. Allah will validate Himself if you can follow said instructions.

Drich, do you think that Muslims or Hindus don't believe that their deities validate their faith? They believe as fervently in their deity as you do in yours

To indulge in your delusions for a moment, how do you know that the instructions are as legit as they appear? Imagine, for example, that there is a race of inter-dimensional super-beings out in the cosmos that are capable of things beyond our understanding of the world around us. How do you know the bible isn't basically what amounts to a fraternity prank by one of these beings?

 None of the other gods have called me, the God of creation did, I answered and found Him to be real and true to what He has said. It's amazing how quite the other gods are, you would believe they would want to steal followers if they were real, you know offering more than the others.

Wow.  Did you manage to come up with that horseshit all by yourself, Chad.  Or did you have help from some biblical scholar because that is fucking profound.

Jackass.

I haven't thoroughly investigated all the other religions.  Have you?  You can't compare them with christianity unless you've studied them all.  I've found the truth and this is where I want to be.
