However, any religion that strays too far from reality will be easily disproven.

Christianity is easily disproven. All of its prophecies have failed to materialize. Christianity doesn't have a single accurate verifiable prophecy that has been fulfilled. Christianity is falsified.

But like AGW alarmists, the falsification of their models makes them even more strident. Cognitive dissonance hurts. Cognitive dissonance is also why the Moslems hate the west.

Dude, you're high. It's a matter of historical fact that Jesus of Nazareth prophesied His own murder and subsequent resurrection, and was indeed was crucified and entombed. It's also a matter of historical fact that between five hundred and one thousand people saw him alive again after his entombment -- eyewitnesses to Him walking, talking, eating, and even cooking after His death are numerous.

In the years that followed, all but one of the twelve primary eyewitnesses to these astounding events were incarcerated and tortured to death for their witness. These men could have saved their lives by simply admitting it was all a lie, but not one ever recanted his story.

That's enough for me.

LOLOL!

Christ is proven to Christians in the most direct and powerful way imaginable.

But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. - Romans 8:9

God is not a hypothesis. He lives. His Name is I AM. I've known Him for about a half century and counting.

But I cannot meld into you in order to give you this proof.

Nor could you receive it even in the face of signs.

And Moses called unto all Israel, and said unto them, Ye have seen all that the LORD did before your eyes in the land of Egypt unto Pharaoh, and unto all his servants, and unto all his land; The great temptations which thine eyes have seen, the signs, and those great miracles: Yet the LORD hath not given you an heart to perceive, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, unto this day. – Deuteronomy 29:2-4

Nor could you receive it by reasoning alone.

For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.

Where [is] the wise? where [is] the scribe? where [is] the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.

For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. - I Corinthians 1:18-25

It is a gift.

And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father. – John 6:65

But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, [even] to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. - John 1:12-13

To God be the glory!

Christianity is easily disproven.

Okay, disprove it for us. And don't go the "all of its prophecies have failed to materialize" route, because that statement is false. The greatest prophecy of the Holy Bible was the coming of Christ; and indeed, He came.

"Cognitive dissonance hurts?" I have no cognitive dissonance whatever, since I see no conflict between what the Holy Scriptures say and what the creation reveals.

[P-Marlowe]

Cognitive dissonance is also why the Moslems hate the west.

So why do they hate each other?
