    Christianity is unfalsifiable, genius... It is a religious belief... All the supporting evidence in the world cannot prove it to be true or false...

    So accept it as true, deny it as false, or quite simply just leave it be... The choice is yours... Seems like you're opting for choice #2...

    I'm not sure how the OP defines it, but I define Christianity as the belief that Jesus exists and is exactly who he says he is (per the Holy Bible).

    Consensus is not a proof. Global Warming is merely a religion that requires its members to outright reject logic, mathematics, and science.

    Religion is supposed to be myth.

    Data exists and there is consensus on what this data means.

    Because there is no afterlife.

    Delicious! You wouldn't know logic, mathematics and science if they were spitting in your face.

    Fun to watch you pretend that you're actually acquainted with them.
