Argument made by religious people that just isn't valid

[JaggedEdge]

if it can be proven to you without a any doubt, that christianty is true, would you fall to your knees and give your life to christ?

This isn't directed at me, but I would like to answer it anyway.

1. There is no plausible way to prove Christianity is true.

• There are far to many dissenting views as to what Christianity actually is.
• At the same time, everything Christians believe in would have to be proven.
  • Jesus Christ being the Messiah
  • Mary being a Virgin
  • The Resurrection
  • Heaven and Hell
  • Original Sin
  • Etc

2. Even if some of Christianity were proven no one should be required to obey. Personally, even if I one day discover with 100% certainty, there is a god. I will bow down to no one. I life of servitude is not a life I would like to live.

We should live our lives for ourselves and the benefit of our fellow man, not a mythical being, such as god.

Argument made by religious people that just isn't valid A lot of people justify their belief in a certain religion by claiming that there is basically no difference between believing in religious texts and believing in commonly accepted historical texts. They'll say something like, "What's the difference between believing in the Bible and believing all the written accounts of the Civil War, for example? You choose to believe those accounts, even though you weren't actually there, just like I choose to believe in the Bible even though I wasn't Rating: 5
