If God were your creator, the wisdom you had, the great works you'd done, the happy family you had, the ability to argue on this religious topic and so on comes from him. Therefore, you should praise the Lord as without Him, where would you be? What can you achieve?

Like those who'd said, this topic is very subjective. But at least for me, as a Christian, Christianity is more than a religion, it's the truth.

"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you."

When we say Christianity is the truth, we don't say it based on what we've been taught.

I remember asking one of my friend,

I asked: "How would those who suffer hunger and difficulties in Africa ever have time to know God, think about God if they have even no time to find food?"

My friend said (roughly) : " Truth will be found if the heart truly seeks for it."

People nowadays have grown smarter and started to think that they're the best and they rule, they've forgotten to seek what is the truth.

No offense, just my thought

Ya, we do talk about proofs and evidences all the time, but when you questioned about the Bible, whether it is the truth or not, have you questioned about what you've been reading? Those so-called hard evidences.

I am a Chinese and in fact I grow up in a Buddhist family, which only my parents and my brother plus me four of us have been Christians.

My grandparents have been Buddhist for years and they are the ones who brought me up, of cause I've heard many of the stories of Buddhist. I believe if you are a Chinese, you must have heard lots of stories about Buddism

Erm and of cause I questioned about Christianity too, and until now I've been constantly looking for answers for the questions I have in my heart.

For example, there's a lot of people claiming that the God is the cruelest God for he killed a lot of people. I've done some research on it and I've found out a few points.

-There is a great difference between the Old testament and the New testament.

"Probably the most important difference to highlight is the change in man's relationship to God. In the Old it primarily involved external religious ceremonies. In the New it is an internal matter for the heart, beginning when a person is born again and being demonstrated in a righteous life, and witnessing to the person and work of Jesus Christ. Since Jesus has, in the New performed the once only sacrifice, no more 'work' is needed to earn salvation. Christians in the New Testament gladly follow in gratitude, not in order to earn anything, which can lead to either pride and self-righteousness or to uncertainty (have I done enough?) This is not to say that there is no joy in Old Testament, just that the basis for it has changed. "

Reading through the Old testament, I noticed a lot of deaths and I wondered about it too. But the reason for this is, the relationship of man back then is not the same as now. For now, after the sacrifice of Jesus, we are cleansed of all our sins. The reason that we should always give thanks to God for sacrificing his only son for us is because without him, we might still be living like the environment of the Old testament.

And so, perhaps in the Old testament, we men couldn't sin as we are taught not to sin and if we sinned we'll face severe punishment such as death. But after the sacrifice of Jesus, we are still taught not to sin but if we sin, God is always there to forgive us as long as we sincere ASK for the forgiveness.

There are tons of materials relating to what you've questioned and tons of materials that questioned like you. In fact, Satan is very smart and they've been trying to make us into doing wrong doings by pretending and tempting us in a "positive way". And my conclusion is, the argument may not cease for decades, hundreds, thousands of years but the matter of fact is the truth will be found for those who seek for it.
