I'm not exerting much energy, hardly at all. The thing that should be considered is why some get enraged by reasonable questioning of beliefs....something that they themselves should be doing in the interest of sorting fact from fiction. Isn't questioning important? Shouldn't Muslims, Hindus, Jews, etc, question their beliefs? If so, why not Christians? Or is comfort valued higher than truth?
That’s a facade. And many good and smart men here see right through it. And have for a long time.
Sour Grapes. That is your rationale. It's understandable that you feel that way.
Believers are bound to get upset and defensive. Just question a Muslim to see how upset some can get.
I have described and supported everything I said.
It's not even complicated.
Fact #1 - Religion is based on faith. Faith as defined in relation to religion is a belief held without the support of evidence (what it says in holy books is not evidence).
Different religions, denominations, sects, etc, have opposing theological beliefs, different versions of the idea of God, the nature of God and relationship to humankind, how the world was created, when it was created, etc.
Now, just basic logic tells us that all of these beliefs and theologies cannot be true. If one is right, the rest must be wrong, or all could wrong, but they cannot all be true.
Which raises the question of the reliability of faith, when countless beliefs are held, yet most if not all must, logically, be wrong.
You don't need to be that smart to grasp the problem, as unpalatable as it may be for some.
