shaunconnell discovered 4 months ago- A lot of people attack me for claiming that Christianity can be rational -- here's a short case for why Christianity /does/ make sense, and is a rational conclusion on the basis of the evidence.

- Points 1 & 2 are the best.. lol..
"The fact that the apostles and the witnesses died for their faith proves that they died for something they considered worth dying for."
What about ISLAM? They are willing to Die for Allah? Thats not part of the Christian plan...
#1 "I like it. If it's not true, I will have lost nothing at death -- but I will have lived a life that I've loved. It's a net-win. With nothing to lose, you can't lose."
That and A TON OF MONEY!!! You will have looked like an idiot to boot as well!! - Points 1 & 2 are the best.. lol..

- I don't care how many times you rework Occam's razor it's still not convincing. I would love to see a contrasting Rational Islam, Taoism, Sikhism, etc. to compare the differences though.

- Really? People think this is interesting? This blogger doesn't show a basic understanding of much of what he or she is talking about. The big bang was not an explosion, and isn't 'supposed' to be an answer to any metaphysical problem. It's a scientific theory, explaining an empirical phenomenon.
The uncaused cause argument--the cosmological argument--simply doesn't work. Not because we have an alternative 'first cause', but because there is no reason to postulate that a first cause is needed. We can't look at basic causal relations in day to day observations and pretend they apply to the 'creation' of the universe itself. That is, day to day causation involves the rearrangement of matter and energy, never their creation. Observing them cannot tell us anything except about these types of phenomena. And even if it did tell us that sort of thing, it STILL wouldn't imply that it couldn't continue ad infinitum, because that is an empirical question, not an a priori one.
If you are actually interested in any of this, try reading a book. Start with Hume's "Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion." Sadly, it won't take you long to realize that these arguments, even far more well formulated then they are here, were well destroyed even before Darwin made his mark in 1859. - Really?

- Good read. Although the author could have gone into more details about why he is a Christian, he did indeed provide solid reasons why Christ was who he said he was and why Christianity is quite reasonable. I read some of the negative reviews below and not one of them actually refuted anything he said. They just picked out something he said out of context and then tried to argue against it. That sure was "rational" thinking. But apparently in order to prove something is true you need a long winded and ambiguous explanation such as what the atheists try to argue with. The simple truth is, Christianity is quite rational and the Bible tells us many times to use sound judgment and to reason with our minds (not our hearts). Anyone who says that the Bible/Christianity teaches blind faith may want to read through it and study the evidence for themselves. Also, many people do argue the validity of what Josephus wrote, but there were other historians as well, such as Tacitus for example who wrote about the accounts of the persecution of early Christians by Nero.

- "Jesus existed, pure and simple."... wow ya can't argue that one. The only trace of amount of reason here is the big bang thing, which only further proves that there are MANY possible causes for the creation of our universe. What makes YOUR god more true than the others? What proves that it was a god at all?
