@fuzznns What do you mean "no it not does not"? That makes no sense. As for the rest of your comment, what does that have to do with what I said? Again, you seem to be ignoring the majority of Christian history.

Josh McDowell's religion is responsible for an unimaginable amount of suffering throughout history, because of Christian hatred and distaste for any opinions that do not line up with the stance of Christianity, even differing opinions from other Christians. That is why the symbol of Christianity is viewed as a symbol of intolerance and hate in so many places. Imagine if the Nazis tried to reform themselves into a peaceful organization and then complained as Josh McDowell is.

@Burreyito Today's peaceful and kind Christianity didn't exist until a bunch of deists and Christians decided that religions didn't deserve to rule in American society, because of the reasoning of a bunch of atheists, deists, and Christian political, social, and moral philosophers. Your religion isn't as kind and tolerant as you might like to think.

@Burreyito For most of Christianity's existence, Christians maimed, slaughtered, tortured, executed, burned to death, stole from, and kidnapped the children of non-Christians. These were not isolated incidents; Christianity wasn't kind in its goal to wipe out all other beliefs. Does this behavior make all Christians evil? No. The same goes for atheists and the Soviet Union. However, this should make you reconsider your claim that "Christians values are much higher than any others."

@CettoTheCesco I know that there are possibilities. The scenario in "The Matrix" is a possibility too. What I'm asking is what are the good reasons to believe that there is an afterlife or that there is an independent agent (god) in charge of everything? I'll concede objective morality- it isn't necessary.  But what are the reasons to believe there's a paternal boss who has no measurable properties?
