Devil's advocate

Why do you believe in God? What proof do you have of His existence?

Why do you believe in the God of the Bible instead of Allah, Zeus, or Vishnu?

Why do you believe the Bible is true but not the Koran or the Book of Mormon?

Why would a loving God send people He created to hell?

How could you worship the God who commanded His followers to kill infants and children in the Old Testament?

What sort of God would create flawed beings and then command they serve Him under threat of eternal torture?

If the Bible is God's Word, then why are His followers so divided? Why wouldn't He make His Word easily understandable and not subject to interpretation?

If the Bible is "enlightened" then why does it condemn homosexuality and not condemn slavery?

If you had been born in India or Iraq instead of the United States, wouldn't you likely be a follower of Islam or Hinduism instead of Christianity?

How can you believe in creation when 99% of scientists accept evolution?

How can you trust the Bible if it was written by fallible man?

Isn't the Bible full of errors? It has been copied so many times throughout the centuries.

So if a serial murderer believes in Jesus Christ before he goes to the chair, he is forgiven of all and saved? How can that be considered justice before a just God?

If God is loving and merciful, why does He allow so much suffering? Why do the innocent and children suffer and die? Why are believers not healed from their diseases?
