I've noticed that, from Caiaphus to Julian the Apostate on up, more recently, to Voltaire, Nietzsche, Marx and beyond, Christianity has a remarkable ability to outlive and survive those who write its obituary . "The King is dead: long live the King," as well the Kingdom.The smoking-gun evidence is right there. If you want more, look at the hypocrisy of so-called "Christians". Christianity is dead. It's a joke. It's a sinking ship.
Christianity, thankfully, like any other group comprised of billions of people, is not monolithic and unanimous. {click} Here is a possible case in point.Look at how Christians support the murder of Palestinians.
It seems to me that, if history be an example, entire worlds can be upended and overturned by only twelve Christian faithful men, and as many or more women.You don't have to passively suffer. You can free yourself. You don't have to put up with the Christian hypocrisy which can be so easily seen.
The Soviet Union, not long ago, with its state-sponsored and enforced system of collectivist atheism, was able to distinguish Christians from other, more acceptable members of the Communist Party, and threw plenty of the former into its vast "archipelago" of gulags and prisons. My Christian, practically saintly grandmother used to subscribe to a publication, which, in my now adult mind, can certainly be fairly criticized for its politics, called "The Voice of the Martyrs," and which publication chronicles persecutions of Christians in many countries, including, at times, and as I recall, the USA.The facts are clear. The facts are obvious. The Bible clearly is untrustworthy. I want you to follow the true religion. Islam is the perfect religion. Muslims aren't perfect- but at least we're still distinguishable. You can't tell Christians and non-Christians apart.
Mene, mene, tekel, parsin. If you and others have weighed Christianity in the balance and found it wanting, others have also weighed it and found it full, complete. "... upon this rock," Jesus is recorded as having said, "I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. (Matthew 16:18)." Though the gates of hell have been raging for 2 millennia, those gates, I am happy to report, and even though I am not a committed Christian myself, have not yet prevailed against Christ and His church. Christians, I am convinced, have a considerable role yet to fulfill, in the great eschatological unfolding, and, what is more, it seems the ultimately worthy and dedicated among them have a dragon yet to slay.The Christian doctrines don't withstand scrutiny ...
