What's my problem with... Christianity?

A question I've often been asked which came up again recently. Just what *is* my problem with Christianity?

This is only my main problem with Christianity. I see many, many more that I don't possibly have the time to go into in only one video, but this summarises the core reason as best I can.

Hey make your own decisions, but you clearly don't know much about Christianity, so maybe do more research before you try and convince others.

@MoonlightPlaylist Please point out where I've quoted something that isn't factually accurate, and I'd be happy to discuss it with you :)

@AtheistBrit Hey, thanks for not taking that wrong way, clearly you make a point to be well informed and I didn't mean to try and put you down or anything, and it was more just some of the smaller theological ideas, which, watching again, different denominations believe different things, so some things you said I would disagree with, but I suppose if you are looking at Christianity in a nutshell than you're fine. Sorry if I sounded rude!

[AtheistBrit]

@MoonlightPlaylist It's absolutely fine! Thanks for responding back. I was going for more of a "Christianity in a nutshell" with this particular video. I was raised Church of England so that has inevitably skewed my experiences towards that. I'm learning all the time, though, so I'd love for you to send me a PM with the smaller theological ideas that you feel I may have misrepresented. Perhaps I'll learn something new :)

Your argument is very sound, thought out, and well presented. However, I've found that reason doesn't get one far with a fundie Christian. (A lady I was debating a month ago said that anything that contradicts the Bible is automatically wrong, and it just shows how much more in need of Jesus you are if you believe it.) Damn you Science!

So for these loons I lay it down in a very simple manner.

You should have more subbers.

@AtheistBrit And I would certainly message you but, and I feel stupid, with the new youtube layout I"m not quite sure how.

[MoonlightPlaylist]

@AtheistBrit Haha yeah that's the thing with Christianity, and you know people's beliefs aside, if people don't accept religion that's fine, but at the end of the day you still want people to say, well, I don't agree with everything their religion says, but as people they seem like the kind of people you'd want to be around. you know, and than with Christianity you have Catholicism and all the denominations, and than they start saying these ridiculous things and it's so frustrating.

@AtheistBrit I would even extend this parable in so far that imo something that has got no characteristics can´t called existing. And in addition, a lifeform has to have a certain form, in order to be called a dragon, snd how can something have a form, if it is invisible and untouchable?

(2/2) "Good idea, but she's an incorporeal dragon and the paint won't stick." I counter every physical test you propose with an explanation of why it won't work. Now, what's the difference between an invisible, incorporeal, floating dragon who spits heatless fire and no dragon at all? If there's no conceivable experiment that would count against it, what does it mean to say that my dragon exists? Your inability to invalidate my hypothesis is not the same thing as proving it true." Carl Sagan

(1/2) "A dragon lives in my garage". "Where's the dragon?" you ask. "Oh, she's right here," I reply, waving vaguely. "I neglected to mention that she's an invisible dragon." You propose spreading flour on the floor of the garage to capture the dragon's footprints. "Good idea," I say, "but this dragon floats in the air." Then you'll use an infrared sensor to detect the invisible fire. "Good idea, but the invisible fire is also heatless." You'll spray-paint the dragon and make her visible.

@unityspirit52 "this is funny an anti-unicornist has a belief system same as anyone. a belief in non-unicorns. thats a form an object that you dont belive in. you create an image in your mind of a thing you dont belive exists.. i havent found one anti-unicornist in my life that is omnipotent "all knowing" to know if a unicorn exists or not. I can understand not belieiving in unicorns but saying there aren't any is moronic." - see what happens when I substitute something else imaginary?
