Christianity Is Irrational (10 questions) by Nobody: 4:08am On Oct 08, 2013
1)We are told in that Mary got pregnant with Jesus without intercourse or an earthly father. Where does the other half of his chromosomes come from?


2)We are told that God sent his only begotten son to die for our sins. Is there a problem with forgiving sins without the death of somebody?


3)We are told that Yahweh is the God of Isreal. Why would a good God choose one set of people over another? Is there a problem speaking to other people around the world at the same time? Why must all his prophets be Jews?



4)We are told that we come from two human beings- Adam and Eve. However, science/history proves this impossible because Jews/Hebrews were far from being the first humans on earth and also, the world could not be possibly populated by 2 human beings into 7 billion given the particular space of time and incest.


5)We are told that Jesus was a peaceful man. However, Jesus scattered the merchandise of traders in the church/synagogue and chased them with whips. Such an action in any civilized country is jail time for destruction of private property and assault.


6)Paul in the bible remains one of the greatest examples for sexism. Yet, we are to believe that the bible is the word of a divine and merciful God.
(http://members.shaw.ca/tfrisen/Bbl/Sexism/Sexism.html)


7)Did Jesus really sacrifice himself? Did he really do anything for us? If I know that I am going to a place called heaven which is an everlasting paradise, why wouldnt I go and get myself crucified? I am only accepting the crucifixion for a reward- this is no sacrifice.


coolAll christian historians and scholars will agree that the bible is incomplete. Yet, we are still using the bible as divine inspiration. What if further explanations, abrogations and commandments are in those missing books of the bible? Even the translation of the bible from the original languages is not complete...some words cant be accurately translated......

9) How could Adam and Eve have grandchildren without inbreeding occurring with their children?

10)The most irrational thing that I find is that the God as described in the bible suspiciously has all the characteristics of a Jewish man in the early centuries.
-He chooses his Jewish people over others (Jewish prophets, God of isreal)
-Sexist laws (http://members.shaw.ca/tfrisen/Bbl/Sexism/Sexism.html)
-believes in sacrifice (eg Cain and abel's sacrifice, Jesus sacrifice on the cross)
-mostly supports the Jews in wars
-never mentions any ancient lands/people that jews have never been to (eg hanan, aztecs, etc)
-never mentions any technology that the jews never had access to
-never once suggested that slavery is one of the most evil things a man can do to another
-believed in the death penalty as ascribed by many Jewish laws.

Logicboy03,

Are you sure that you are an atheist? What you said that "Christianity is Irrational" is one of the deepest truths about Christianity.

I must say I'm impressed that you discovered this: Christianity is Irrational!!! Some christians don't even know this!!!

WOW!!! Glory be to God Almighty!

It is the will of God that Christianity is Irrational. Look here:

John 3:8


The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.

Luke 1:37

For with God nothing shall be impossible

Isaiah 55:8-9

For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways,”
declares the Lord.
9 “As the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.

The life of a Christian is a life of wonder, one that cannot be easily understood. because you're different from the others. Remember, the life of Christ was a big headache for many during His time on earth, they just couldn't fathom the kind of wisdom He carried and the lifestyle he had. Including, performing jaw-dropping miracles!!!

The fact that you opened this thread confirms to me that God loves you so much that He revealed a deep secret to you. Yes, you, He loves you so much! He will normally reveal this kind of information to those that He loves and has a plan for.

Congratulations, Logicboy03, you're a lot closer to being a christian that ever. Please don't stop studying the Bible! cheesy cheesy cheesy

God bless you dearly.

You're too naive. You PRESUME that you can plot your own actions, and expect everyone to respond the way you like? Are you that little-minded? Deluded?

Are you seriously asking for claims? I do not have time for all that bible crap..... I do not intend to derail the thread. But you have no claim to the Hebrew's god,don't you have yours in your village?

It really doesn't matter if we are dull or not. The important thing is that true christians carry the WISDOM OF GOD! Remeber, Jesus did not come for the 'healthy', he came for the 'sick'. Thank you Jesus, the Great Physician, who specializes in making dull people who ACCEPTS Him and makes them wise with the WISDOM of God. HALLELUYAH!

Dude it's a simple question and has nothing to do with all these delay tactics of yours: what is your BASIS for saying "Christianity is meant for dull people"?

I understand if you have no basis / no answer to my question, and you would be too ashamed to say you have no basis - because in your atheistic worldview everything should have a basis. But judging by that statement it would just mean you use words carelessly the way a madman with diarrhoea releases faeces.

Yes there are gods in my village, and I have worshipped them before until I found something I deemed better.

You see? I can actually answer questions. Unlike you, it appears.

A true christian is someone who is deluded,gullible and brainwashed,boring etc "Love your neighbor as yourself" is one of the contradictions in the bible. The same book commanded kids to be stoned to death. The book was cleverly written for dullards.

Finally you start giving responses that are more sensible to-the-point.

Not every construct is susceptible to proof. Some are taken as bases for further logical constructs. In logic they are called axioms. In theism, the existence of God is an axiom.
