Why do people still believe in Jesus and Christianity?

[Cypress]

Nor did I say you did. Sometimes people say things and don't say them to be contentious. It's called discussion.

Alright then

[TexanManWithPlans]

The Bible is the word of God therefore I believe.

I can't tell if this is a serious reply.

It's serious. Short, ideological, inane.

it's a troubling conundrum for those familiar with revealed religions. Jesus did call on us to believe as well as practice.

For myself at least - who is still attuned to Christianity, while simply finding Buddhism more "helpful"
in day to day life..well I can't work it all out evenly.

My heart belongs to Jesus, but my mind is bodi (Buddhist practices ).
and that's how i've left it for years

Yes.. I don't see how we could believe or even assume we would be capable of fully understanding.

I have come to think of it, poorly, as if we were all in a big room & had a vile w/ an ant in it..

We could pass it around the room to each other, the ant fully incapable of not only understanding her own predicament but ours as well.

Thoughts, emotions, forethought, even sight-seeing us in our entirety unfathomable..

Belief does not make something true.

and your beliefs do not make my beliefs untrue....

[PostmodernProphet]

Yes.. I don't see how we could believe or even assume we would be capable of fully understanding.

you are confusing belief with having been proven to......

I am confused....

For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways,” declares the LORD. 9“For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so My ways are higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts.10

For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways,” declares the LORD. 9“For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so My ways are higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts.10

A great quote from the Old Testament's Isaiah, but don't forget that Republican Evangelicals cherry-pick their Biblical beliefs and avoid anything that's inconvenient....such as Isaiah 55:8-9.

[Doc Dutch]

Up is not down.

It's really good you understand that point.

I try to start with the facts.

Quantum physics shows us that reality is not deterministic, it is probabilistic.

Up is not down.

An excellent position which I support 100%.

Up is up. Down is down. Around the world. We'll never come down.
