Once upon a time...
Is one of the problems with Christianity that it is just so utterly unbelievable ?

Yes, Christianity inhabits a strange space in American life. It is by far the predominant religion in the most religious country in the industrialized world, with nearly 90 percent of its citizens professing belief in God and a large majority claiming allegiance to a Christian denomination or sect. Yet Christians are regularly targeted for ridicule and vilification by a significant portion of America's cultural elite, a situation all the more striking in view of the prevailing hypersensitivity toward other religious, ethnic and lifestyle groups.
Could it be the author of this poll didn’t choose to question the Muslim religion because he didn’t want to insult a religion he knew he might be murdered for insulting? Christians will simply shake their heads and move on.
Consider, when a presidential aide in the Clinton administration sought to discredit an independent prosecutor, for example, he instinctively denounced the churchgoing attorney as a "religious fanatic." This would be a career-ending insult had it been directed at a devout Jew or Muslim or calling an atheist afanatic. The fact that the aide kept his job while the White House refused to issue even a perfunctory apology illustrates the impunity that surrounds casual bigotry against Christians.
Plato said, “Atheism is a disease of the soul, before it becomes an error of the understanding.”
What can be more foolish than to think that all this existence of heaven and earth could come by chance, when all the skill of mankind is not able to make an oyster? Well, maybe you are the exception and can accomplish this – right?
To see creation and claim there is no cause, there is no creator; that is came about simply by being, without time, without an eternity; a second, without a first: these are things so against philosophy and natural reason, that you can only be devoid of understanding.
You, the thing formed, says that nothing formed it; and that which is made, is, while that which made it is not! Wow!!! How arrogant!
As a famous writer put it, "No one is so thoroughly superstitious as the godless man. Life and death to him are haunted grounds, filled with goblin forms of vague and shadowy dread."
Your theologians of atheism assert that people are, ”A hairless ape” - Schoenberg; ”A mere insect, an ant…” - Church; ”An accidental twig” - Gould; ”A rope stretched over an abyss” - Nietzsche; ”A fungus on the surface of one of the minor planets” - Du Maurier; ”A jest, a dream, a show, bubble, air…” - Thornbury; and ”I see no reason for attributing to man a significant difference in kind from that which belongs to a grain of sand” - Oliver Wendell Holmes.
Yes, I'll believe the Bible.
A simple FACT that you all ignore. A singular god creates a universe for companionship! Anybody capable of such a feat is NOT going to create US first. Such a being would create contemporaries so he would be able to say to them; "Look at what I have done!" That blows your monotheistic nonsense out of the water. Try getting an education that CHALLENGES your thinking, rather than merely reinforcing it.
It is physically IMPOSSIBLE to translate ANY foreign language into another language verbatim. The story, to which you adhere, has been told and re-told ad nauseum, and has pretty much been MISTRANSLATED from the first telling. There is NO SUCH CRITTER as a God....just more advanced critters. How ever do you think these "primitives" came up with MULTIPLE gods? Do some more in depth research in material that is NEW to you!
When first we practise to deceive!
Krishna teaches us to respect any religion that strives to better a mans soul for they are all paths to enlightenment, just some longer than others.
I am actually a deist since i do not believe any religion is 100% accurate but Krishna consciousness comes the closest to my beliefs.
(Genesis 1:26) The [Elohim] said, "Let us make humanity in our own image, in the likeness of ourselves, and let them be masters of the fish of the sea, the birds of heaven, the cattle, all the wild beasts and all the reptiles that crawl upon the earth." Elohim is a plural word, including male and female, and should properly be translated "Gods" or "Pantheon." (1: 27) The Gods created humanity in the image of themselves, In the image of the Gods they created them, Male and female they created them.
Elohim means GODS and Goddess
Ten Commandments
1. I am your lord your God you shall have no other Gods before me
the Bible god just ADMIT there are Other Gods
The Entire Book is From so many Religions and Cultures
everything from the Creation of the World story in Genesis is found in Babylonian and Sumerian Culture with the same story Written THOUSANDS of years before the hebrews and Christianity were invented
Noah ark flood story is the biggest lie of all time
1 if there was such a flood the amount of water would have diluted the oceans and wiped out all the fish in the ocean
2. there is no evidence of such a flood ever took place since the last ice age

A virgin had gods baby. Who then grew up to murdured by the Jews or maybe the Romans. so you and I could be forgiven for Eve eating that apple she got from the talking snake. 3 days later Jesus rose from the dead to tell everyone he was coming back someday to fight the devil. Then he flew up to his mansion in Heaven where he sits in judgement of the gays.
How can you not believe that?
This is from a Cleveland show episode and the mind of Seth McFarland. So take what you will from it. I found it quite humorous.
1 Corinthians 2:6-16
King James Version (KJV)
6Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:
7But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:
8Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
9But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
10But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
11For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
12Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
13Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

Remember it says in the Ten Commandments
I am your lord your God you shall have no other Gods Before me
The Bible Admits there are other Gods
