Like Bob Dylan said:
"You say you've lost your faith,
but that's not where it's at.
You have no faith to lose,
and you know it."
Let science save you in the day you close your eyes.

I read some, but don't have time to read it all right now.
But most of this I've heard or read before. My faith in God, Christ and the Bible are not shaken. If you read it more carefully, you'll notice that it's all based upon speculation, vague similitude, and far stretched interpretations.
Much of what I've read here is based on CATHOLIC Christianity, which is not based upon the Bible. The Catholics (and their Protestant derivatives) have lied from the beginning, and will lie till the end, about God, Christ and the Bible.
And yes, there are SIMILARITIES between various ancient stories -- there are several more kindly (and more likely) explanations than those that are presented at this Web site. Similitude is not an sound reason for concluding that one came from the other.-- my little brother looks like me, but he did not come from me.
These things prey on the gullible. The Bible instructs us to "Prove all things; keep that which is good," and to study and seek wise counsel. That's good advice no matter what religion you end up (or start out) believing. I suggest you look up the rebuttals of these comments before you give up on the one true God.

I'm not going to read the whole site, especially after reading the one page I did check out. I'll refute that one and leave the rest as an exercise for the reader.
The site says the "walking on water" miracle is a mistranslation. The Greek really means "walking on the seashore". So they conclude there was never a "walking on water" miracle.
Fine, except in Matthew's account, Peter gets out of the boat and tries to walk on the water, too. Since Peter would've seen Jesus on the seashore, why did he try to walk on the water?
This Web site says that Matthew turned Mark's account into a miracle by adding the part about Peter. Matthew was apparently confused by the translation of "walking on water" vs. "walking on the seashore".
But Mark and Matthew both wrote their books in Greek, so one assumes that Matthew would not have had to translate, let alone mistranslate, Mark's account. If Mark wrote that Jesus was walking on water, then that's what Matthew would've read.
Anyway no faith lost here.

Then it must not have been strong to begin with and you're better off without it.
Real faith would withstand that website.
Really, the point of faith, as I see it, is to contribute a good to overall society: anything that urges people to live together in peace and not screw each other over is what faith should be about.
So, since you're in the market for a new faith, how about faith in yourself to make the world a better place? Faith in your friends and family? Faith that tommorow will be a better day?
You'll get over this: I have faith in you.
Regards.

Do not let go of God or Jesus,my friend!
These SCienturdists are Stupid ppl who have turned from the truth.
You know if you are wrong about Jesus,then you have nothing to lose when you die,but if you are right & turn from Him,you will go to hell like the rest & lose everything!
The truth is very simple!God sent Jesus to be a sacrificial lamb for the whole human race.All we have to do to have eternal life is accept Him,confess we are a sinner with our mouth & be baptized for the remission of sins.
Go to www.churchofchrist.org.You will learn the truth there.

I think that you are either the creator of this website, affiliated with it, or are already an atheist coming in here in disguise. There's nothing new on your website, just the same old atheist stuff.
At least have the COURAGE to come in here as what you are, instead of as a poser. I'll freely tell you what i believe anytime. Why don't you do the same, dude?

Well have to tell you that I do only believe in what the Bible tell me. Jesus said that when He go to be with His Father He will send as a counselor that will lead us in ALL TRUTH. That is the Holy Spirit. He have always shown me what is the truth and what not; Pray that God will baptize you with the Holy Spirit to lead you in the truth. I do not believe anything that is written on this website you have put into your question. God Bless

Ya always panic before you lose your fait, but then you find out that it's a okay and life goes on and you are still a good person with goals and values, and all along you were over rating faith. There is so much more to life than faith. Like love, and happiness, and kindness. Hope is good to, but it's different.

Yes, The bible is the word of GOd that is inspired to ascetic people, scrupulous men who follow his teachings. The fact is, the new testament is the fufillment of the old testament. The story about Jesus is true, and he is the son of God. 800-900 Years before Christ, the prophets Isaih and Daniel prophetasized or predicted that they will be a messiah born in the city of David, who would came to save humanity from sin. My friend, Jesus loves you and does not want anyone to perish. He promise eternal life to all who repent and accept him as the saviour. This way you can escape the damnation of hell, but those who reject his teachings will be thrown in hell, where the devil will be burn. I urge you to put your trust in Christ because scientists cannot prove everything. Can they prove evil spirits or holy spirit, not they can't. EVIL spirits are the devil and holy spirit is God, so he loves you and that is the reason he died to save you. My friend your soul is eternal you either spend it in heaven or in helll. Salvation is also eternal.

That web site if full of lies.
You can do your own research and find out. Many have including CS Lewis and Lee Strobel who where both former atheists who went in search to "Prove" Christianity was false and are now Born again Christians. Both educated intelligent men. Why did they change?
Nothing I say to you will change your mind until you ask God to help take off your blinders.
I pray that you do.
God bless,
