jgardn's Journal: You cannot prove me wrong

On the subject of religion, I find it interesting that:

1) No one can refute the claims of a believer in Christianity. No one can refute the resurrection of Christ (there are too many witnesses who died as martyrs) nor the creation of the world by the hang of God (the proof of this is the world itself).

2) No one can refute the effects of living a Christian life. The peace and prosperity that a Christian believer and follower achieve surpass that of any other person on the planet. Our great nation is different from all nations because of our attention to Christian ideals.

3) No one can refute our sincerity. While there are many who profess a belief in Christ, we judge them by their actions alone. If their actions are outside of that which we call "Christ-like", they cannot be Christian. Therefore, many so-called Christian preachers and priests in our eyes are really charlatans.

4) The only acceptable practice of refuting Christians is to denigrade them with ad-hominem attacks. How many times have I heard that Christianity is wrong because it is plain silly, or that "everyone knows evolution is right and Christianity is wrong"

Prove me wrong.

I'm a Christian myself...

and I'm finishing up a college course on Western religions. Its interesting, in my last paper I had to research the origins of the New Testament. About 60% of pages I found through Google used the origins of the New Testament to slam Christianity and say that Islam is the only true religion.

Just my observation.
