There is very little that we can prove in this world. However, we can look for evidence to support claims people make and, when there is sufficient supporting evidence and no contrary evidence, we can conclude a claim is probably true.
However, it is easier to prove something is false – all you need is contradictory evidence. Here are my eight reasons why Christianity is false. There is abundant evidence to support each reason. I don’t have space here to give the evidence but if you are not aware of it, I can provide it.
1. There is clear evidence that prayer does not work despite the Bible promising prayers will be answered.
2. There is clear evidence that humans invent gods and there is no reason to believe the Jewish god is an exception.
3. There is clear evidence that religions and gods are propagated through culture by infecting children, and no evidence that they are propagated by gods.
4. There is clear evidence that religions evolve as human understanding of the world changes whilst a real, God-given religion, should never need to change.
5. There is clear evidence that humans on this planet have unequal access to Christianity so, if Christianity is true, billions would be condemned to hell for no fault of their own. This contradicts the Christian notion that God is omni-benevolent.
6. There is clear evidence that the Bible, supposedly inspired by God, is riddled with the type of errors that we would expect from Iron Age men but not from the creator of the universe.
7. Christian theology is incoherent to the point of absurdity. God killing his son so he can forgive our future sin is like me breaking my son’s legs so I can forgive my neighbour in case she ever parks her car on my drive. It is quite ridiculous.
8. There is clear evidence that the arguments presented for the existence of God are founded on logical fallacies – all of them. All that is left for Christians is faith and their feelings. We know that faith and feelings can be used to believe in any god at all – including non-existent gods. So faith and feelings are epistemologically worthless. And that is all Christians have.
I rest my case.

The one thing you didn't touch on was the intelligence of those who wrote these controversial books. These are the same people who believed that the Earth was flat, the sun revolved around the Earth and that the Earth was the center of the universe.
I'm not saying that they were downright stupid, but they didn't have sufficient enough knowledge. You would think that this so called god, would have pointed this out, since they were inspired by the same god.
ALSO…If god allowed for his son to die for our sins, then why does the bible always state that the father, the son & the holy spirit are one in the same?
ALSO…How was Noah to absorb all of this knowledge, as well as passing it down to all the others? What I'm referring to, is everything from the "Creation", "Adam & Eve", the BIG FLOOD" etc..
Aside from the Big Booming voice from the sky, how could anyone account for all of this?
ALSO…If god created the heavens and earth, then why are there no references to dinosaurs? We clearly have proof of their existence.
There are just too many controversial stories in this book that raise more questions than answers.
In short…I view the bible as a fairy tale used to control an otherwise unruly civilization. Note, that it was written during the time of a ruthless Roman Empire!
Why do all religions have the same base story but only names changed? Why was Christianity stolen from the pagan belief system? Why aren’t people taught about the Roman soldier Pantera? Look him up. Tiberius Julius Abdes Pantera. There is proof that he is Jesus’s human father.
it is obvious that none of you have read the bible
Hi Bill
I am a committed Christian and have known Jesus Christ personally as my Lord and Saviour, for 32 years.
Many people think that God is a murderer for sending His Son, Jesus Christ, to a cruel death. May I correct your thinking.
In the natural flesh of man, who is unredeemed and unspiritual, it is impossible to truly understand God’s perfect and righteous decision to send Jesus to earth to die in order to redeem us from the curse of sin.
You see, God thoughts are higher and His ways different than ours. And our perception of God and Jesus Christ in the natural flesh, will always be incorrect. One has to receive the new birth firstly, which is spiritual, in order to truly understand the magnitude of what Christ achieved on the cross.
I have studied eschatology for over 20 years, and I can confidently tell you that there isn’t much time left on God’s prophetic clock, until He brings His judgement upon the entire world. The demonic Great Reset is advancing day by day and is on a collision course with Almighty God.
I urge you to think seriously about your eternal destiny, because whether you accept this or not, God does indeed exist.
Because of His love for you, He is using me to get the message of salvation across to you, in order that you may turn to Christ while you still have time to do so, prior to the immense suffering that is soon to come upon the whole world.
I hope you will make the right decision and choose eternal life while there’s still time.
Every blessing to you
Janet
There is absolutely no excuse for your mass murderer of a god but keep your head in the sand! What makes a lot more sense is that we are in a matrix/simulation but of course Ms. Agent Smiths like you will lie that we’re not. That’s all you religious folks do is lie and some of you even lie to yourselves! Just constantly sugarcoating the buybull of HATE and making all kinds of absurd excuses.
What's the clear evidence?
Serving in any of the united states military branches is far better than serving Jesus Christ. I know because I served 4 years in the U.S. Army and being a veteran makes you family with other veterans and that’s fact and not faith.
I will not deny that serving in the military is nice and builds a family of close friends, but my life is a testimony that in fact the Christian faith creates bonds between those who have nothing else in common. I met 3 of my awesome friends from a Christian school and were all very unique with little to nothing in relation to eachother besides the Bible
