Answer 2

Thomas Pane didn't even come up with his own ideas. He is just restating the same philosophical jumbo that skeptics have said for most every religion. "Why do bad things happen to good people?" type of arguments.

You can read one argument after another from one theologian to another, and then read the rebuttal from an atheist or two. There is nothing new here, and nothing has been proven.

You can't disprove a religion unless you had a time machine. And even then the religion would just be reinterpreted and adjusted to fit the new found discoveries.

Answer 3

Why bother with Thomas Paine? Didn't Jesus already disprove his religion when he said that the second coming would occur within the lifetimes of the apostles?

Answer 4

Because Tomas Paine is a mortal. If a supernatural being came down from the heavens and disproved it then I would say that would be a valid source.

Answer 5

so which you published a query in order that which you're able to answer it and all people could examine your deranged perspectives? despite, I have been given 2pts. You very own me? what's this the 2nd grade? i'm shifting directly to different useful questions. Oh, and devil will placed on a parka in the previous i could make an apology to this Paine guy.

Answer 6

The problem is... you cannot disprove Christianity. You cannot prove it either. It relies on faith. If there was a proof, one would need no faith.

So, while Paine cannot have disproved it, I am hardly arguing for Christianity, since any idea that, by its very nature, is impossible to prove, is, ahem, weak.

Answer 7

Pasting links to lunacy does not disprove anything. Thomas Paine is not the only educated idiot that ever lived. No one has disproved Christianity from the beginning to date. You need to do better than that.

Answer 8

Thomas Paine tried to disprove Christianity - that's a far cry from saying that he did. Nobody has ever been able to find a single contradiction in the Bible, and they've been looking since long before Paine's time.

Answer 9

Since you're asking for help...? Here's the answer: The only One who lets you believe in Jesus is God, the Father...
For Jesus said (and therefore, it is written): "No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day." Check it out in the book of John. The 2nd time later in the same 6th chapter, when Jesus stated this truth, "many of His disciples went back and walked with Him no more."

Answer 10

'The Age of Reason' sometimes made interesting points. However, for the most part it was a curious menagerie of fallacious reasoning and historical misstatements. It is a book that people ought to read, though.

Answer 11

every religion is right, just because there is a little mistake in a religion doesnt prove that the whole thing is wrong, just rember these were written in a time and place when science is low so people just made up with their ideas. PS i m sorry if i offended anny one in anny way.
