I can't speak for the rest of the Christians, but for me, God has worked so many wonders in my life that there is no way that I could reject Him.

Answer 2

The Christian God was very careful to prove Himself when He had the Bible written. It is different from every other book. In it He predicts the future. No other book does this with accuracy. God names names, dates and places so we can check out history and see that He was right. He even gave us the very words someone would say centuries before the fact!

If you were God and you wanted to communicate through a book, you would put things in there only a God could know, such as the future. If you wanted everyone to know that you were going to come in person, you would explain what you were like so you would be recognized. You would put in the city of your birth, where you grew up, what kinds of deeds you would do, your temperament, your purpose, even how you would die.

God did all that in the Old Testament. It was all in book form 400 years before Jesus, the Son of God, came. The New Testament gospels follow Jesus and point out some of the places where He fulfilled the prophecies.

“Daniel 11, written in the 6th century B.C., gives an amazingly thorough account of Alexander’s Grecian kingdom, divided first into four competing factions after his death. It predicts details of the struggle between the Ptolemy and Seleucid empires for a period of 160 years, right down to the advent of the Roman Empire. That is why the skeptics used to claim that the book of Daniel could not have been written before 164 B.C., but now we have proof of a much earlier writing text.

“The prophet Isaiah (44:28) gave the name of a king not yet born and of a kingdom not yet instituted and of an event that would not take place for another 150 years. He predicted that a king named Cyrus would commission the rebuilding of the temple in Jerusalem. Cyrus did come to the throne in Persia, and in the first year of his reign in 538, he issued a decree that the temple in Jerusalem should be rebuilt. (See 2 Chronicles 36:22-Ezra 1:1-3. This prophecy described in the Bible is confirmed by the discovery of a Babylonian inscription.)

“Daniel actually gave the time when Christ would come into the world and die. Daniel (9:24) predicted that Messiah would be cut off (die) 483 Hebrew years after the issuing of the Persian decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem. Artaxerxes Longimanus issued that decree on March 5, 444 B.C. (Neh. 2:1-8), granting the Jews permission to rebuild Jerusalem’s city walls. This, too, is confirmed by archeological discoveries. Four hundred eighty-three prophetic years (360 days to a year) and seven days later, Jesus was crucified as predicted, How could a prophet accurately predict the date of Messiah’s death hundreds of years before it took place, unless he was the ‘voice’ of God as he claimed?”

Thanks to the Dead Sea Scrolls found at Qumran, we know with certainty the above prophecies date before the occurrence of actual prophesied events.

He has proven His existence perfectly and wonderfully. The Christian God is the true God.

Answer 3

Well said Steve Husting, as for you Mr.Missing Link, you can't simply label all Christians just because some actually have followed such concepts while growing up make sure you have enough evidence and enough of the people you're accusing actually testifying that they agree with your conclusions before you go on an make any final assumptions.
Once again God bless you regardless.

Answer 4

It is your opinion that God is man made, but some people believe in him and we all have a right to our opinion.

Santa is a fictional character, but it stems from a REAL person, so it's not all together man made.
I'm not sure what's up with the Easter bunny, but wasn't it fun to believe in as a child?

Answer 5

Read CS Lewis and Aquinas and so many others over the centuries to see how little like childhood fantasies the experience of God can be.

Answer 6

I'm afraid your mistaken. it's the Christians that adopted those myths into the religous holidays !

Answer 7

Your opinion that "all are man made" is just that - your opinion. Christians hold a different opinion. Who are you to say which "opinion" is true and which is not?

Cheers :-)

Answer 8

Well said.
I saw a T-shirt that I want very much. It read "God, man's worst invention".

Answer 9

Because that comic book they call the bible tells the Jesus freaks how to live their pitiful lives, how to think and controls them through fear.

Answer 10

because nonoe of those characters offer an afterlife.
