Hey, I'm not a Christian, and I don't mean to soil this board with non Christian posts but I'd like to ask you why I should be a Christian instead of, say, a Hindu or a Muslim. Thanks for the responses!

I am watching it, by the way. It is a serious question on my mind.

The easy answer is that Christianity is the correct form of belief, the highest capital-t Truth revealed to human beings.

The claims that Christ made, and the evidence for the reality of his miracles on Earth, lead one to the inevitable conclusion that He was (and is) the Son of God. If you accept that as the case, the only reasonable thing to do is to join the Church.

Here's an excerpt from C.S. Lewis' Mere Christianity that goes into this subject.

Can you give me some reason to believe it is "the correct form of belief"

You have to weigh the claims made by other religions against those made by the Christian faith. Christianity is the only one that is completely consistent with itself and historical evidence.

Are you specifically looking for an analysis of Christianity and why it stands up?

You can try comparative religion as others in the thread mentioned. And here's some short vids from a guy who does just that. When you start comparing christian beliefs to diff faiths you'll start to see how the christian world view is geniuanly different from others.

So for instance Death, we do not believe death is natural we believe that death is unnatural and was not part of this world originally, so i'd just recommend get into the books like mere christianity listen to some podcast etc.

Yes you do, you posted this

>why I should be a Christian instead of, say, a Hindu or a Muslim

There are literally hundreds of books on the subject, pick one, or watch: >>635464 's video

Translation: I'm not genuinely interested in this question, I'd just like to waste Christians' time.

The board is for Christian fellowship, not stroking atheist egos. Go back to whatever hole you crawled out of or be respectful and go read some books on Christianity so you can ask specific questions that are troubling you instead of just wasting everybody's time with broad questions the answers of which require too much specificity for an image board.

I also have this question, and I struggle a lot with the question of how could Jesus be the incarnation of the Absolute or of God. I believe that God is inmanent and all-Pervading. We could say that same thing about God the Father, and in that corrupted religion's apparent false YHWH, Islam.

As horrible as this sounds, I find Islam easier to believe than Christianity, as Allah is technically the only God without a Trinity, without any incarnations. However, Islam is about as credible as Mormonism and violent by design (I like its conservative aspects though, but those can be found in Christian Orthodoxy, so this is more doubt of pure faith than about ethics) and I'd rather be dead than Muslim (although being a Muslim death probably comes soon enough)

I firmly believe in universal morality that's embedded in our nature that's God given, but I believe in either more monistic/panentheistic/pantheistic faiths/religions/philosophies or faiths that are, well, non-Trinitarian. Some faiths like Zoroastrianism, Sikhism or even some Hindu faiths make more sense to me.

However, when it comes to Christian belief, I allign quite a bit with the beliefs of the Church of Christ or the Eastern Orthodox Church.
