I follow Jesus Christ, and believe firstly through research and evidence, then by faith, and lastly by feelings, that he existed, and that there is more evidence for his existence, miracles, death, and resurrection than any other person who ever lived.
I know alot of people classify "religion" as one big thing, and that they are all bad and all the same. As for those people, I hope you would do some more research.
Debate between Richard Dawkins and John Lennox This is a very good debate between two very knowledgeable people, and obviously I am on the side of John Lennox, and agree with everything he says. Interestingly enough, I also agree with Dawkins about almost everything he says about religion and its negative effects.
However, I don't place Christianity in that "blob" he calls religion. I view it as truth, and as reality. Of course you can listen to this recording and have your mind closed, like some people who post comments and just say that John is just "preaching" and that nothing he says is valid, which you have a right to do, but is also very ignorant of evidence.
Also not sure if anyone has ever heard of Josh Mcdowell, who has written several books on the evidence for christianity, one very small and simple one called "more than a carpenter" the more recent is "Evidence for Christianity."
I enjoy talking about this topic, especially with people who have the very common assumptions and easily answered questions that are their excuse to not examine the evidence and find out the truth for themselves.
Please listen to this discussion and hear what both sides are saying.
PS. I would also consider Atheism a form of religion as well, as you will hear John Lennox talk about briefly. There is also alot more evidence out there than just this stuff, but this is a huge topic and i think i covered the basics.
