Hypocrisy does NOT disprove Christian theism

[Jason Dollar]

Why? Because a belief system must be judged on whether it is true or false, not on the conduct (or misconduct) of the people who follow it. So as far as Christianity goes, one should look to Christ and the system itself rather than the followers, since they are imperfect people too.

Even if Einstein were a murderer, E=MC2 would still be true.

Good post, Jason!

Would you say the Bible alone is powerful enough to generate [believing] faith in an individual?

Abraham did not even have the Bible. The Holy Spirit alone is all the is necessary for salvation. Does he primarily use the Bible? Of course. But the Spirit can use evidence of all kinds.
