14 Questions Asked About Christianity



When it comes to God and Christianity, do you have questions? Nearly everyone does–believers and unbelievers alike. We have all at one point in our life asked some deep questions about God, Heaven and Hell. 

Amazingly some of us have asked ourselves  these questions thinking we are alone. That's not true, I wrote this article to remind you that you are nit alone at all. 

Here are some questions most often asked about the Christian Faith and God. 

* How do you know there is a God?

* If truly God existed, wouldn't there be just one religion?

* How can there be a God when there is so much evil and suffering in the world?

* How can a loving God send people to Hell?

* How can any rational person believe in the Trinity?

* Don’t all religions lead to the same God?

* How do Christians get off saying their religion is the only one?

*  What would Christianity be like if there was no Hell or Heaven? 

*  How can Jesus ask us for forgive our enemies but sends his own to hell? 

*  How is the Bible different from any other history book out there? 

* Heaven's supposed to be this really great place, right? So how come a third of the angels got pissed off?

* How can you reconcile belief in God with science and especially evolution?

* Why are there over 30,000 Christian denominations all claiming to be the "true Christians"? Which one should I follow and why? 

* Why did God create the forbidden fruit on the Tree of Knowledge? If He didn’t want Eve to eat the fruit, why create it in the first place? 

Please feel free to add your own questions!! 

I don't have the answers to these questions, but if you do. I would love to hear them. Just provide them on the comment box below!!!

THE ATHEISTS 10 COMMANDMENTS



These Ten Commandments are gotten from The God Delusion - A 2006 best-selling non-fiction book by English biologist Richard Dawkins. 

 In The God Delusion, Dawkins contends that a supernatural creator almost certainly does not exist and that belief in a personal god qualifies as a delusion , which he defines as a persistent false belief held in the face of strong contradictory evidence . 

He is sympathetic to Robert Pirsig's statement in Lila (1991) that "when one person suffers from a delusion it is called insanity. When many people suffer from a delusion it is called religion. With many examples, he explains that one does not need religion to be moral and that the roots of religion and of morality can be explained in non-religious terms.

Below are the Ten Commandments from the book, please feel free to share your thoughts on the comment box below. 

(1) Do not do to others what you would not want them to do to you.

(2) In all things, strive to cause no harm. 

(3) Treat your fellow human beings, your fellow living things, and the world in general with love, honesty, faithfulness and respect.

(4) Do not overlook evil or shrink from administering justice, but always be ready to forgive wrongdoing freely admitted and honestly regretted.

(5) Live life with a sense of joy and wonder.

(6) Always seek to be learning something new.

(7) Test all things; always check your ideas against the facts, and be ready to discard even a cherished belief if it does not conform to them.

(8) Never seek to censor or cut yourself off from dissent; always respect the right of others to disagree with you.

(9) Form independent opinions on the basis of your own reason and experience; do not allow yourself to be led blindly by others.

(10) Question everything.


Dawkins uses these proposed commandments to make a larger point that "it is the sort of list that any ordinary, decent person today would come up with." He then adds four more of his own devising:

* Enjoy your own sex life (so long as it damages nobody else) and leave others to enjoy theirs in private whatever their inclinations, which are none of your business.

* Do not discriminate or oppress on the basis of sex, race or (as far as possible) species.

* Do not indoctrinate your children. Teach them how to think for themselves, how to evaluate evidence, and how to disagree with you.

* Value the future on a timescale longer than your own.
