Why Christianity is BS!

[deleted]

You're not even doing a good job trolling..

I´m a cessationist. For the atheist, this means I believe that the in-church miracles that occurred in Acts, ceased to happen after the early church had been formed and the New Testament written. I don´t believe God has given any Christian individual power to perform miracles in his name. If any false convert is claiming that, they should be in hospitals, healing sick kids. That said, I believe miracles can and do happen through prayer, all depending on God´s will but God´s will is ultimately and primarily, not to heal sick people in this life but to give sinners (who repent from their sin), eternal life. God bless.

But somehow we did get beyond that. As humans, we did send people to the moon, didn't we? And we were mostly Christians back then in the 50s.

I was an atheist too. I rejected everything related to religions. I pursue a life of 100% scientific, unrefutable facts only, no faith needed kind of way.

I met hurdles, of course, but I marched on. The more I went full science, the more I realize many parts of the so called science may not as faith-free as I would like.

Some of them are just as bullshity as religions. Say, psychology is scientific, but so many stuffs in it was just written by one or two guys in their own expertice. Basically "saints." We can't possibly tested out all of the theories ourselves. Some of them need 'well, it said so in the books.'

There are too many areas in life which we need a shortcut, a quick distilled, processed, information ready to use. Just like we use Windows or Office in our computers instead of coding our own programs even when there are open souce versions of Windows and Office that we can freely see for ourselves. All the codes, and everything. If we put ourselves learning those, we surely can built our own systems and programs. No need for Microsoft to provide us.

Some do, but most of us simply can't. We can't all be experts on every facets of life. From computers to psyche to food science to quantum mechanics. At some point, even scientists must use faith.

And so I did. More and more time I used faith instead of unrefutable facts. And then more faith than sciences. In fact, it is scientific that human normally needs somekind of religion. Maybe it's not Christianity for you, but it is for me.

If I may suggest, read Richard Dawkin's books, The God Delusion and The Selfish Gene. (Btw, I love his works.) These books are good reads for atheists and Christians alike.

Didn't Jesus call fellow Jews snakes? Like I said, we are no gang nor mobsters. It is not because of the fact that we are Christians that we are saved. It's simply of God's grace. It is solely Him that redeems us, not us redeem ourselves.

If you want to do good, there is no better vehicle than religion.
If you want to do evil, there is no better vehicle than religion.

Christians and atheists alike need to practice more skepticism of their of own positions. If you have never doubted your beliefs, then they probably are not strong enough to withstand scrutiny.

Yeah, just don't ever go to a Mosque and say that out loud. They'll chop your head off, after they beat you with sticks. You wouldn't see Christians doing that. They'd just either shoot you dirty looks or look at you with pity and walk away.
