Christians know their beliefs are false!

I just had to comment on this posting I saw in Facebook. This one little piece of paper says a lot about what Christians really believe and how they have to constantly convince themselves and others that they got it right when in fact, deep down, they know it’s not true.

If you’ve read C.S. Lewis’ “Mere Christianity” you’ll see that he admits that you can reason out of Christianity. His solution? Just keep saying over and over that Christianity is true. And of course, pray. It’s like the person that doesn’t want to hear that climate change is manmade so he sticks his fingers in his ears and keeps saying “NO NO NO” over and over hoping the truth will magically go away.

The person who wrote these answers got it right. Logic, reason, atheism and God’s non-existence are just some of the things that shoot down Christianity. I would only add skepticism and critical thinking.

The sentences at the bottom are attempts to put the guilt on the believer. Basically it’s saying that the believer is screwed up and shouldn’t trust this reason crap. The believer has to buy what we spoon feed them in church and in class, despite what this logic and reason stuff might say.

Reminds me of a quote I saw about Joyce Meyer who wrote a book to help parent deal with teenagers who, perish the thought, are questioning their belief. Here’s what she said, “I once asked the Lord why so many people are confused and He said to me, ‘Tell them to stop trying to figure everything out, and they will stop being confused.’ I have found it absolutely true. Reasoning and confusion go together.” Joyce Meyer - Battlefield of the Minds of Teens

Notice how Mrs Meyer is pals with the Lord. Money talks I guess!

So according to Mrs. Meyer and the school or church where this paper came from, forget all that logic and reason bullshit. Go with the batshit you learn in church. Doesn’t this make you feel good about where our country is headed?
