Hello JD,
Quote:
"What religion would you be if there were no Christianity?"
I am prepared to answer that I would be an atheist, because I have examined all other religions and found them to be so inconsistent as to be un-followable.

I know this is off topic and a little pedantic (forgive me - I am just having a little fun), but in what sense is atheism consistent? At one time in history there was no Christianity. My guess is that we would affirm (along with Paul and Jesus) that Judiaism had something going for it
prior to Christianity coming on the scene. Wouldn't being a Jew be better than being an atheist? Also, have you really examined all other religions? I have not.
Plus, even if there is no Christianity, all of reality declares the existence of God. As such, atheism is not more rational than theistic positions.
I will now go and duck.
Brian
P.S. God loves the world.
