I often hear christians saying, "why don't you believe like we do?" and that "if you only read XYZ then you'd certainly believe."
Fair enough. After all, how can anyone who respects the bible reject the possibility that christianity is correct without ever inquiring. Ok, fair enough.
But my question is, do these same christians hold themselves to the same standard?
In other words, have they ever considered the possibility that, for example, judaism (my religion) is correct?
Have they read OUR reasons for believing what we do?
After all, we're the status quo. We were here before christianity. If anything, any bible-believers should automatically start out with our belief (being the status quo) until strong evidence leads them to the conclusion that christianity is right.
Now, it is clear that most jews throughout history have never found such "strong evidence"; to the contrary, we have evidence which leads us away from christianity.
