1001 Questions God Won't Answer For Christians Stephen McGrath Phd

Christians are not stupid, but they sure are gullible. Either that, or they have absolutely no common sense when it comes to using logic to analyze their beliefs about the invisible magic guy in who gives them their wonderful morals in support of genocide, slavery, subjugation of women, cruelty toward others, and even the stoning children.

This book delves into the logic problems of Christianity and the Bible by simply posing a 1001 questions that no Christian can answer without either doing semantic acrobatics or by relying on the circular logic of trusting the Bible simply because the Bible says to believe in it.

To answer questions in this book, Christians need to defy all logic and common sense. For example:

- Why did the Christian God have to make Eve from a rib instead of making her from clay or simply snapping his fingers and saying abracadabra?

- Why did the Christian God instruct Noah to make an ark, when the Christian God could have just as easily slaughtered all the people on Earth with a magic stroke of his hand? (Wouldn't that have made his existence less doubtful instead of having to account for the crazy logic problems the ark creates?)

- Why did the Christian God have to create a son to torture on the cross as himself in order to save his own creations from his own wrath?

- Why did the Christian God bother to create distant galaxies millions of light years away that humans will never know about or experience?

- If a boy gets hit by a meteor while walking to school, did the Christian God launch or know about the launch of the meteor and its trajectory thousands of year ago? If the Christian God did know about the meteor, wouldn't he have had thousands of years of advance knowledge to move the boy out of the impact zone? Was "God's plan" to launch that meteor all those millennia ago to kill the boy or does the Christian God simply work in mysterious ways?

Either way, the boy died and the Christian God either knew about the boy's death for centuries or allowed it to happen without saving him.

Logic and Christianity have no common ground. This list of questions will make that abundantly clear.

Enjoy!
