Is Christianity just a crutch for the weak?

Christianity gives strength and hope to everyone, not just the weak. Everyone needs support sometimes, and seeking help is a normal part of being human.

Is there no evidence for the existence of God?

Evidence for God includes the complexity of the universe, the fine-tuning of natural laws, and the existence of moral values. Philosophical arguments also provide reasons to believe in God.

Does religion cause wars and violence?

While religion has been involved in conflicts, many wars are about politics, economics, or power. Christianity teaches love, peace, and forgiveness.

Are miracles just myths that can't be scientifically proven?

Miracles are extraordinary events that go beyond natural laws. While they can't be scientifically proven, many people have documented and witnessed them.

Is the Bible full of contradictions and errors?

Many supposed contradictions are misunderstandings or translation issues. Understanding the historical and cultural context of the Bible can clarify these issues.

Is Jesus just a myth, similar to other ancient gods?

Jesus of Nazareth is a real historical figure, with multiple sources documenting his life, death, and resurrection. Unlike mythological figures, Jesus' existence is well-supported by historical evidence.

Does Christianity suppress scientific progress?

Many famous scientists, like Isaac Newton, were Christians. Christianity and science can work together, each addressing different questions about life and the universe.

Does Christianity promote blind faith over reason?

Christianity encourages the use of reason and critical thinking. Faith is based on evidence, history, and personal experience, not blind belief.

Is the concept of Hell unjust and cruel?

Hell is a result of free will and the choice to reject God's love. It emphasizes the importance of moral choices and justice. God respects human freedom to choose.

Is religion a tool for control and manipulation?

While some misuse religion for control, true Christianity focuses on love, service, and humility. Christian leaders are meant to serve and help others, following Jesus' example.
