How to prove Christianity for those who never heard of it?

It is not, because in the mythology, it is a conscious being making a conscious choice to send you there. He could easily choose not to do that.

Falling down a cliff is a natural consequence of gravity and how it acts on objects with mass.
Being shot in the head upon refusing to hand over your wallet, is not a natural consequence of some phenomena. That's being murdered by someone who made conscious decision to do so.



The god in your religion doesn't care about goodness. He only cares about what you believe for no good reason.

In your religion, a mass murderer who "repents and accepts jesus" and gets killed 5 seconds later, gets eternal reward.

A genuinely good person who is also an atheist, gets eternal punishment.

This has nothing whatsoever to do with "being good" and everything with "being gullible".
"gullible", since the thing that needs to be believe, has no evidence at all going for it - which is why you need faith.



Uhu.... and all that for not believing without evidence. For being rational. For using the brain that this god supposedly gave you.



Beliefs are not a matter of choice.



What you just described, is the very opposite of "love".
It is, as Hitchins used to call it, the practice of a "heavenly north korea". Demanding unquestionable loyalty and belief on no evidence or else...

Unless something “is” something.

In Christ, Not me

Agree.

Facts lead to truth and facts, can be demonstrated, to be facts.

You are correct.

Question;

Does righteousness exist? And if it does, what is it in itself?

Much love in Christ, Not me

Righteous behavior exists, yes. I consider that expected, with some human beings though, nothing earth shattering about that.

Might depend what kind of water you are delivering and whether that water is something that would be beneficial to a person.

Yeah, it's Pascalian water ... It's not quite Perrier, but it's cleaner than drinking from "Lessing's Ditch." :rolleyes:
