Pastors, when arguing with atheists, agree that being a christian is not a guarantee of an easy and successful life but when they talk to congregation, they unfailingly give the impression that with Christ, you life will a positive turn around spiritually, financially, academically and family-wise. Even when they preach about trial and tribulation, they give the impression that it won't last and everything will turn out fine.

Christians read the book of job and are aware of martyrs but, together with their pastors they, they select favourable scriptures that promises a good life and focus on them so much.

You seem to be interested in a religion that preaches pessimism

‘Most’ is still generalized. Let me try it as well; atheists pretend to be perfectly at ease with their beliefs but deep inside,fear of being wrong haunts and torments them to their grave

more like cliched..
I wonder why someone will make a point and still struggle too hard to make it relevant..
it defeats the beauty of intelligence.

We av read; we have heard..but why still go haywire multiplicating threads trying to prove same point.
