Flaws in Christianity

Essay on the Intrinsic Flaws Inherent in Christianity

Christianity is a religion in which events are claimed to have

occurred

but which can never be proved. Those who practice it live by

different morals than are preached by the most holy texts. It is an

institution in which the most holy scripture is contradictory, and wherein

the supreme being, by the very definition, cannot exist. Christianity is,

therefore, a fundamentally flawed religion.

According to the Bible, events have occurred

which are even more

miraculous than the resurection of Jesus Christ. Events such as the stopping

of the sun by Joshua (Joshua 10:12-14), the reversal of the sun's course by

Isaiah (Isaiah 38:7-8) , the resurrection of the saints, and their subsequent

appearance to many (Matthew 27:52-53) were witnessed by thousands of people.

The stopping and reversal of the sun would have been visible worldwide. The

idea that people could have witnessed these events without having been amazed

by them is, quite simply, ludicrous. Other cultures having witnessed this

would certainly have offered their own explanations in keeping with their own

cultural and religious beliefs. Surely a society existing at the time would

have documented this miraculous event. Yet nowhere have such works been

found. In the instance of the resurrection of the saints, Matthew is the

only person to mention this occurrence

in the Bible. Surely other

first-century Christians would have used this as further proof of Jesus'

divinty. It would fall to reason that Paul and the gospels would have mentioned it.

This is not, however, the case. Nowhere else in the Bible is this mentioned or even hinted at.

These events are then, at best, highly unlikely to have occurred

. The fact

that Matthew is alone in writing of the resurrection of the saints leads us

to believe that certain writers of the Bible had differing views on

christianity.

The christian Bible is highly contradictory, not just to modern day

christian beliefs, but in and of itself. Today's society is of the belief

that all people are created equal, and Christians submit that their god is of

the same belief. Modern Christians believe that their god loves everyone,

and that they are all equal. However, after Adam and Eve had eaten from the

tree forbidden by god, this deity said to Eve "I will intensify the pangs of

your childbearing; in pain shall you bring forth children. Yet your urge

shall be for your husband, and he shall be your master." (Genesis 3:16).

This tells us that, according to the Christian religion, women shall

naturally be dominated by men. This kind of behavior is not conducive to a

being who believes in inherent equality. Women are repeadtedly treated as

objects and told to be submissive in the Bible. "According to the rule

observed in all the assemblies of believers, women should keep silent in such

gatherings. Rather, as the law indicates, submissiveness is indicated for

them. If they want to learn anything, they should ask their husbands at home.

It is a disgrace when a woman speaks in the assembly." (1 Corinthians 14:34-35).

"Man was not made from woman but woman from man. Neither was man created for

woman
