Strongest reasons to disbelieve Christianity

[FireDragon76]

Okay, so you're not a fundamentalist. Good for you. But you realise, lots of people are. Lots of people do think that the world is 6000 years old. Right?
And even for the ones who aren't fundamentalists and believe the Earth is, in fact, four and a half billion years old, plenty of Christians accept that many of the events in the Old Testament did happen. Do you agree with that?

The essay I quoted is aimed at such fundamentalists. I have the suspicion that you are agreeing with me about how their views show god to be a bungler.

Am I right?

Sort of. They get focused on the wrong parts of the stories, in the same way that the pharisees did 2,000 years ago in their conflict with Jesus.

To follow Jesus means to take seriously that people can get religion badly wrong.

Fundies can be good. If everyone just jumped on board and believed science, there would be no original thinkers.

Okay. Well, that conversation kind of petered out.
Thanks for your time.
