Christianity has, and will, stand on its own merits.

I agree. I used the word "fortunately" because these modern attacks are so pathetically lacking in any credibility.

And, although I agree that Faith is important to Christianity, it is also well supported by Reason, as shown by the eloquent apologetics of G.K. Chesterton, C.S. Lewis, and Francis Schaeffer. God wants your heart and your mind.

Lewis Chesterson Tolkein etc etc.

The idea that somehow Christians are mind numbed robots with no ability to reason or even question is absurd, and stereo typical of the Left’s view of our Faith.

The sad thing is, the more they accuse Christians of that, the more they become the very thing that the they are saying Christians are?

There is an interesting book called “Evidence Demands a Verdict”. Written by some agnostic/atheist (or something) lawyer that was out to prove the resurrection a myth. After getting into it he realized that if the idea was on trial, it would be found to be true. He became a Christian (and then wrote the book).

And to the disciples (I think He appeared to something like 500 of them total?) they did not have to rely on faith to believe the resurrection. “You have seen and believe, but how much greater will those that believe without seeing” or however that verse goes when he speaks to Thomas.
