Top 5 Reasons to Not be a Christian

1) God does not exist

The Problem of Evil

God is powerful.

God is good.

A good God would want to stop evil and a powerful God is able.

Therefore, God does not exist because pointless evil exists.

Divine Hiddenness

A loving God would make Himself known

Average Person:

Sees no miracles private or public

Has no private revelations from God

Meets no Christians who explain the Bible well

2) The Bible has logical Problems

Scientific

Sun Standing Still for the Whole day

Historical

Luke 2 Census

Mass Exodus

Contradictions

Judas’ Death

Number of Angels

Creation accounts

3) The Bible has moral problems

Slavery

Deuteronomy 15:12–18

Genocide

Joshua 6:21

Hell

2 Thessalonians 1:8-9 2 Thessalonians 2:11

4) Christianity was invented by the church and not Jesus

Jesus’ “words” were written long after. Every single manuscript of the Bible we have disagrees with the others. There is about 4 manuscript disagreements for every word of the New Testament.

No consensus on what books even belonged in the Bible.

Jesus would not have agreed with modern Christians on His being God, ability to do miracles, or atone for sins. The rumor got carried away and His words were exaggerated.

5) Christians are not morally different

American History: Most slave owners and KKK members were Christian

Modern Pastors: Robert Morris, Kenneth Copeland

Local Churches: 60% of child abuse inside Christian churches is done by pastors.

Your own lives: I guarantee that you have family members and friends who are Christian but have hurt you more than unbelievers. Frequently Christian parents are reported as struggling with the same patterns of abuse, manipulation, ego, etc.

If God’s love was so transformative, than wouldn’t we have a different situation among Christians.
