Christianity is actually reality-based.
It began with a small group of men and women who had no faith whatsoever. They changed their minds when they saw a dead man walking.
Faith based religions affect the world only as their adherents can make the sales calls.
Christianity, on the other hand, swept through the known world and transformed it within 300 years. Faith can't do this the way a real event as I've described can. Reality has a way of kicking you in the teeth and saying, "Can you hear me now?"
(No other world religion or belief system has ever done this.)

Well lets look at it this way, Our faith is based on the events as witnessed 2000 years ago and the records of these events. So that is knowedge actually. Our faith is based on knowing what God said he would do in the old testiment and the knowing of what God did thru Christ. So again that is knowedge. So it seems that our Faith is based in the knowedge of God goodness. That is the foundation of our faith. The beginning. Then after getting the knowedge of God we apply faith to the knowedge to a act of faith and are born again spiritual into the Kingdoms of God. So our faith is knowedge based and faith activated. Faith is not blind faith or it is foolishness, faith is build upon both experencial knowedge and leaned knowedge. Thus faith is the application of knowedge.
Of course you could compare it to any fields of science but they tend to fly in the face of knowedge. That is called blind faith.
People of faith first have to leand about God and then we develope a relationship with him and it is a live long process. A christian will over time develope the ability to hear God speak and more. But i will save that for another time.

Of course. Give me one shred of irrefutable proof that Christianity is the one true religion. If Christians want to point to their book as the way, maybe someone should point out that Judaism and Islam are based off the same story. Which one's the right one?

I would say so because faith does heal a lot but most people don't believe in things they cannot see. So I would say it is but admitting that would not encourage more people to Christianity but it is the truth. Faith is like loving someone that has all suspisions of cheating on you, yet you know he didn't. So, faith is good.

It depend which group of people you are targeting to.
For non believer, obviously they won't buy into it. But for those who believe in so call 'god', apparently they WILL say YES.

I just got stupider by reading this question. Few of neurons just died because of you, now I'm afraid I may finish asking things meaningless as you do.
