Religious claims have not met their burden of proof.
Can't think of a single cogent reason to believe in a god at all, much less a personal, dying- rising savior god.
Religious people have lower IQs
Someone give me 1 reason sufficient to warrant belief in a god
To everyone else who reads this I'm going to show you how hard it is to convince someone of the first thing they need to realize.
If you read the very first thing in xfrodobagginsx post:

1. Realize that you are a sinner and in need of a Savior:
Ro 3:23 "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;"
Ro 3:10 "As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:"
It all began with the story of Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden. God created them perfect, there was no death or sorrow. God told them not to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. They disobeyed God and as a result, sin entered into the world. The pain, which this world sees, is the result of sin.
You, hoipolloi, are a sinner. You are not good enough to get into Heaven. There is nothing that you can do to save yourself. As you read in the book of Romans, there is none righteous, not even one. All have sinned and have come short of the glory of God.
This is the doctrine of sin. You are not a good person and so you need saving from sin. The wages of sin is death and eternal separation from God. This is NOT where you want to be. When you come face to face with the Judge then you will be found Guilty.
You will be Guilty for all the evil things you have ever done in your life. Every bitter thought and deed from your childhood all the way up to this point in time. All the bad you've done vastly outweighs the good. Even the good you've done for personal gain is sin.
Do you now realize how much you are in need of a Savior? Do you now realize how serious sin is?
