Islam is based on the same God of Abraham. I will say with confidence that There is no God as described in any of the texts that can exist. They all contradict the essence of what the God they describe is. For example The God described in all three texts (Torah, Koran, Bible) is all knowing, all powerful, and infallible. Yet God screws up many times and fails to have the power to change it. example: Genesis 6:5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 6 And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. God admits that he screwed up, mankind was evil and he is going to kill off everyone but Noah and his family to rid the world of wickedness. So how did that work for God, God knows the future of mankind according to all of the texts. How did God do as the all knowing creator? FAIL Side: NO

I would like an atheist to respond to this telling me what they think caused the universe to be created and how they think we exist. Well, we don't yet know how the universe was 'created,' if it even was. But that is no reason to think that an all-powerful all-benevolent and yet severely flawed being created it. Why do you think that Christianity is accurate? Side: NO

You are entitled to believe what you want but as an atheist the cause of the universe is a complex involved question. I would like to give an abridged answer. First we know certain things to be fact the Universe and life exist, suspended in what we know as space. Our world is made mainly of matter, all matter has charge which causes many different reactions as these charges attract or repel. Matter changes but is not destroyed. Theory is that Matter is eternal and infinite since we have no evidence of a beginning or end of matter. In space the Matter,(which includes dark matter & anti-matter), which we know exists reacted as matter does with other matter due to the nature of Matter causing the formation of our universe as well as the eternal number of others universes that form and change eternally. As for life in studying our planet we know that there was no life on the planet for billions of years. It happened in the most simple form and became more complex as time marched on. We know that all life has a chemical formula and is of things found naturally as part of the planet. Life is not something that just appeared as it is, as written in the religious texts. Using an imaginary being to explain things that we don't have the answer to isn't an answer. What evidence would lead a person to believe that some magical being created the universe? Where did this magical being come from? How is it possible for a person to believe that nothing created God yet Matter could not just exist eternally knowing that it does exist and reacts continually with other matter constantly. Is it irrational to believe in magic that has not been witnessed by the believer over just thinking abstractly about what we know exists? Side: NO

The earth never flooded, a mass exodus of jews from Egypt never occured, the census did not require returning to one's ancestral home, raising the dead is impossible, burning bushes don't talk, the earth isn't flat, the earth isn't under 10,000 years old, and people never lived to be 900 years old. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to read the bible and conclude it's nonsense. Side: NO

The question is about Christianity. The response included many things from the Koran since the Torah, the Bible and the Koran all start in the same place with the same God and cast of characters until Abraham. If you are going to be critical of others comments at least know what you are talking about Side: NO

Not any more true than literally any other religion or fairytale for that matter; unless, of course, you can provide any substantial evidence at all that supports Christianity. Claiming that believing in Christianity without any supporting evidence is nonsensical is not a slogan, it is basic rationale. Side: NO

It is clear to anyone who takes the time to truly study the entire Torah, Bible or Koran that there is no monotheistic God as it is written. All of the texts of this God of Abraham are clearly not inspired from anything outside of normal human thought and the customs of the time period. People who believe in this God try to make it work in their world. As humanity becomes more knowledgeable less people rely on religion for answers to unknowns, the fear of mortality, and implied morality. Since God is imaginary then Christianity cannot be true.

For the same reason that Christians expect them to be accommodating to Christianity. Everyone has the right to believe in what ever religious teaching they wish. It would be unfair to the other religious groups to allow one religious group claim supremacy. If religion were based on a real thing they would all be the same and there would be no conflict. The problem with religion is that since it is imaginary it can be anything so it is personal to the social group that it was taught from. Hence all of the different beliefs, there are 600 different Christian belief systems alone. There are divided beliefs in Judaism and Islam also for the same reason. Everyone believes they are the only ones who have the correct set of beliefs. By definition this can't be true so we must allow everyone the opportunity to believe what ever it is they have been taught Side: Yes
I do not believe Christianity is the true religion. but i do believe in the bible and also believe that it has been tampered with... and not proper preaching and teaching of the bible.. The true religion is no religion at all.. its is just obedience to gods will.. religion was placed to separate people into there own understanding and translation of what self believe in. christianity is mixed with pagan gods.. thats is clearly against what the bible teaches.. christians today seems to throw away or slightly disregard. the laws of moses and jesus said he came to fulfill the laws Side: NO
