if they were logical about being a christian, then they woudln't have been christians.
It's ok to just have faith.

And you do know that Galileo was tried for heresy by the catholic church for saying the earth revolved around the sun, which contradicted the bible at that time? He was forced to recant his views on this, and was forced to live the rest of his life under house arrest. The Catholic Church did this to him. He literally applied logic and evidence to the Cathlic Church, and was jailed b/c of it.

I don’t think you understand Christianity at all. It isn’t based on some epic or story or blind theory as to why we’re all here. It’s based on an event that happened in history, the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. An event in which there is a ton of evidence for.

I do know that. But 1) it didn’t and still doesn’t contradict the Bible and 2) that’s an argument against the infallibility of the Catholic Church, not whether or not the Christian worldview is based in evidence and logic. Galileo wanted to be a Jesuit priest when he was a young man and was still a devoutly religious man until the day he died. Based on applying his logic and reason to his studying of the world and history.

See how we can’t have this conversation?
This is your belief that you feel was somehow told of Christ to be the truth. It’s illogical to believe it’s all factual in how it’s told. You choose to just believe some of it as fact, even though it’s illogical, and then you’ll also use the excuse that some of it is just a lesson and didn’t actually happen exactly that way.

I can’t understand how someone can have so much belief in the Catholic Bible, and just ignore all the other writings from that time that found their way into the Hebrew bible and the Quran. Jesus is in the Quran. What makes you not want to believe what they wrote about him? Are they lying?how do you know who’s telling the truth about Jesus?

By that standard, we literally can’t know anything at all that has ever happened in history. With your last post, you told me how awful the Catholic Church treated Galileo. You said it with a lot of conviction almost like you hold it to be the truth. I can’t understand how you can have so much belief that those people were telling the truth. You’re being so illogical…see how stupid that is?
