I see Christians being made fun of on Atheist talk shows when they call in . Looking like fools or idiots and being slain with simple opening questions. It is embarrassing and prevents young people from even considering Christian beliefs.
You cannot use the Bible to defend or support Christianity. That's like a person accused of a crime, having another person who supposedly helped you commit the crime, validate your alibi. Christianity is going to lose an entire generation because of this idiocy. There is plenty of non-Biblical factual evidence to show that Jesus lived, had huge influence and the Romans and Jews were worried enough to have him tracked and eventually killed. Also, most Atheist are not really Atheist, they are agnostic, which is a far cry from actual Atheism. They are just think the average Christian is so stupid they jump to the extreme position. Also, topics of Heaven and Hell can be really tough, i would stick to the unlikelihood of "no creator" and how science is showing that even the big bang had a start. Things just did not always exist. There is no evidence that anything that is in existence, always existed. That means that as outlandish as Genesis might sound to the non-believer it has more scientific merit than "it just is"! If the universe operates by certain laws then who or what or how was the law created? Also, it seems that when people are dying, regardless of a lifetime of disbelief they seem to starting thinking about God. Why is that? The fundamental idea of God seems to live in everyone's head. Also, most Atheist seem to be driven to their belief by an event where they felt let down by God. How could you be so let down and so against something you believe in your heart never existed? That means that most of them really deep down do believe, they have just emotionally covered up that part of their Psyche (or heart if you prefer). And lastly, why Jesus? Why? How could this religion still be going on? He is the only "messiah type" that any religion has. Everyone else just claimed to be a prophet, or what ever Buddha is, not "the" liaison to God and not a God-man figure to do Gods work on earth. Its the least believable of all the religions (excluding Mormonism and Scientology) yet it still exist today in pretty much the same form as it did in the beginning. To dismiss Jesus as a myth is historically idiotic, to dismiss God as as 100% myth is scientifically unsound (according to most scientist in the last 5 years including Stephen Hawking who recently is using a God concept in his Theory of everything message. So Christians ...it maybe time to update your stand and smarten up if you want to do what you think God wants you to do!
