Andrew Fountain - Seven More Myths about Christianity

Some common myths/misunderstandings

1. The Christian life is dull/boring & God hates pleasure
2. If there’s a God of love, how come there’s so much suffering in the world?
3. The Bible is a lot of old myths with no archeological support or scientific basis
4. The Bible is full of contradictions
5. There’s no proof for God like there is for scientific facts
   • Faith is blind and has nothing to do with evidence.
6. Christianity hasn’t done anything particularly good for the world—most wars are caused by religion
   • Most wars are caused by religion and so the last thing we need is people who believe strongly that they are right
7. Christians actually have the nerve to believe theirs is the only true faith!
   • Christians are more intolerant of other people than non-Christians.
   • Christians despise Mormons, JW’s, and other cult members.

So what is Jesus’ answer

• Come to me and trust me and I will give you a new life (living water)
• I will totally wash away the guilt of every bad thing you have ever done
• I will put a new power in you for living
• You need to do two things
  
  1. Recognize that you need me
  2. Trust me with your life (which can be a simple prayer)
