What would it take to make you a Christian? (non-theists)
The point was raised in HM Rob's thread, in a strange manner that didn't work so well.
So here's a direct question for the atheists of Secular Sevens; what would it take for you to become a Christian?

9 Replies in this Sub-ThreadIt's difficult to sway somebody to your side when religion has been used as a tool to control the masses out of fear or to rule over others since you "Speak to God." Furthermore, when there have been SO MANY religions in the history or mankind, and we have gone from Gods to God, its difficult to make someone believe you lol trust me, i've tried. To sway the really non believers, you'd need Jesus himself to come down here and show the world he is real.

Christianity was a radical break with contemporary social, political, and religious thought. It wasn't used to foment a rebellion for political gain, or otherwise upset the status quo. What did Jesus have to gain by doing what he did? Nothing. He died. That's it. In terms of Earthly gain, there was none. That makes no sense. Judaism wasn't that way, and neither was Islam. Or Hinduism. Or Zoroastrianism. That he was who he said he was makes more sense to me than other explanations. And it explains what I have seen and experienced better than anything else.

If it makes sense to you, cool. I propose we agree to disagree. Well debated sir.
