You say you want to convert, but can't. You say that you can't understand how using "a random book," etc. is gonna justify Christianity.
These do not justify Christianity. These are the foundations of Christianity. To reject these is to reject Jesus Christ and His free gift of salvation.
You see, Jesus stated that not the least stroke of the pen of the Scriptures would cease until everything was fulfilled. (Matthew 5:18) John says that Jesus IS the Word of God, (John 1:1) so by rejecting the "random book," you reject the very thing that informs our faith.
You want something else, and therefore you set up a self-fulfilling prophecy. Since we cannot come up with something else, you are able to thus justify your unbelief.
Allow me to tell you what the real trouble is. Unbelievers are "...those who refused to love the truth that would save them." (II Thessalonians 2:10b). The truth is there. You reject it. And therefore you remain lost and dead in your sins. Until you bend the neck or bow the knee, you will not understand the truth.

When I was in scouting the guidelines said you had to have a positive life-afirming faith. There was no room for blowing up people to make a point. So perhaps if you are living in such a way as to make the world a better place that should be enough. I'm easy that is all I ask.

i want to invite u to Islam. Research on ur own abt Islam. Read The Holy Quran, Read Books of Hadiths (Prophet's Sayings), Research by Authentic Reliable Books & Sites (Don't count on sites that defame Islam, 'coz they spread mis-information and misconceptions abt Islam, and they cant even back up there claims with sufficient proofs, thus they are basically rambling Falsehood abt Islam). Do all this research on ur own and dont believe in anyone's hearsay (Not even mine). May GOD (ALLAH) guide u on The Path of Seeking The Truth. Peace to All.

Justify Christianity?!..Jesus Christ is the reason for Christianity...for to be a Christian is to be Christ-like...power comes from the bible, our faith and from Jesus..there is NO other way to God but by Him..Jesus said.."I am the truth, the life and the way and no one comes to the Father except through me."

Realisitcally speaking, Christianity has nothing to prove to anyone. Anyone believes in what they want to believe. As Christians, we do believe in preaching the gospel to others. We preach to you guys what we believe and it is your choice to either praise it or reject it. Why don't you read the Bible to have a better understanding of the faith? I'm sure many of your answers will be answered.

In time, all of humanity will evolve out of their need for faith in imaginary deities. However, some evolve before others. I know it is hard. It will be easier if you don't fight it. You are one of the faithless, one among many. It is a good thing, whether it feels like it or not.

If you don't believe that the Bible is the holy inspired book of God, that Jesus Christ is the son of God slain for your sins, then you are right. You can't convert.

I Corinthians1:22-25For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

then don't convert and stop lashing out at complete strangers because no one is forcing you.
are you doing it out of guilt because of the stuff you wrote earlier?
why not just be a good person that way you won't feel guilt and maybe you can figure out how you want to live your life peacefully and maybe with a little more knowledge to back up your decisions?

You bet you can't
You need a few years in the school of life and you will get them. There is no reverence in your posting and you will never come to God unless you learn a few lessons.. Don't convert, just wait and you will see..
