1. RELIGION CAUSES MOST WARS.
Comedian George Carlin once said, "More people have been killed in the name of God than for any other reason, but according to Encyclopaedia of Wars, in the 1,763 wars up until 2004, only 7 percent were religious. In other words, 93 percent of all wars were not caused by religion. They were secular in nature-like the First and Second World Wars.
2. SUFFERING PROVES THERE'S NO GOD.
Imagine you're flying on a state-of-the-art plane and you're thinking that its manufacturer did a wonderful job. Suddenly it drops a thousand feet, injuring or killing several of the passengers. As you look at the wounded, see the blood, and hear the groans, do you conclude that no one made the plane? Of course not. The logical conclusion is that something went terribly wrong on the plane. To those who believe the Bible, every incident of human suffering and death is the tragic result of living in the fallen creation detailed in the first book of the Bible Geneis. Suffering instead stands as testimony that God's Word is true.
3. THERE'S NO EVIDENCE FOR GOD.
Every building is evidence of a builder. Even if he has been dead for 100 years and there is no documentation, you know there was a builder because it's impossible for a building to have built itself. Creation (nature) is evidence of the Creator. It is impossible for nature to have made itself or be eternal. Those who don't believe in God default to believing that nothing created everything, which is scientifically ludicrous.
4. THE CHURCH IS FILLED WITH HYPOCRITES.
That's true; there are pretenders, not genuine Christians. The Bible speaks often of false converts sitting alongside those who are genuine in their faith (goats among the sheep, tares among the wheat, bad fish among the good fish, etc.), and assures us that God will sort them out on Judgment Day. Why let the pretenders keep you out of Heaven?
5. FAITH IS FOR WEAK PEOPLE.
We have faith when we trust pilots to fly us, doctors to treat us, and surgeons to operate on us. We trust elevators when we step into them, When the Bible speaks of "faith" in God, it's not speaking of a blind belief that He exists, we know that as a fact because of creation. It's speaking rather of trusting His integrity, and especially His promise of everlasting life.
6. GOD WOULDN'T CREATE HELL.
Should He punish a mass murderer like Adolf Hitler? Of course He should. If He's good He must see that justice is done. Hell is God's prison, where those who have done evil will get exactly what they deserve.
7. GOD WON'T SEND ME TO HELL FOR FAILING TO BELIEVE SOMETHING.
Beliefs are important, as they govern our actions in life. If you believe there's a landmine in front of you, you will go around it. If you don't believe, you will step on it. If we believe the warning of the Bible-that we have sinned against a holy God-then we will see our need to trust in the Saviour. If we don't believe the testimony of Scripture, we will ignore His offer of mercy and have to face His wrath whether we believe in it or not. And the Bible warns, "It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God."
8. THERE'S NO PROOF THAT JESUS EVEN EXISTED.
Detailed historical evidence of Jesus' earthly life (from birth to death) is given in biographical accounts by Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, as well as the apostles Peter etc. These accounts, by those who knew Him, were written within a few years of His death. Aside from the Bible, there is documentation by secular historians Josephus (AD 37-100) and Tacitus (AD c. 56-120), the Babylonian Talmud, and other sources, no reputable historian claims Jesus of Nazareth was not a real historical person.
9. THERE ARE ATROCITIES IN THE BIBLE.
The Bible does read like a violent adult movie with incidents of genocide, rape, fornication, adultery, incest, murder, kidnapping, hatred, lying, blasphemy, pride, greed, and many other atrocities and vices. The Scriptures don't hide the wickedness of humanity. They expose it and warn that the Day is coming when God will judge the world in righteousness.
10. I'M HAPPY AS I AM AND HAVE NO NEED OF GOD.
That's fine God gave us a free will, free choice, if He hadn't we all would have been robots. Maybe one day you'll realise that true peace and happines only come from the Saviour Jesus.
Thank you for reading this, I pray that one day you find My Lord Jesus Christ the Saviour of mankind.
