My response to you is that a belief about religion can't be proved nor disproved. You will have to die to see your proof.

Originally posted by @suzianneWhat about when you and I disagee? Or more to the point, what about when I disagree with sonship (which I do 90% of the time), and you are vehemently berating me for persecuting people, for destroying this website and a host of other despicable deeds driven by vile motivations?
Thank you for the shout-out. 🙂
Yes, I know we disagree about Christianity, but that doesn't make either of us 'evil'.
Originally posted by @secondsonYou just said the key word: Hope. That's ALL you have, nothing more. Besides, your religion excludes everyone who is not Christian. Estimates places the total population of humans living and dead for the past few hundred thousand years at something like a trillion. So counting the present christian population at 1 billion give or take means that only one in a thousand people go to your heaven. Not good odds no matter what apologists say. Even confining that number to the present world population say 8 billion which it will be soon, that means only about 12% go to your heaven. Also not good odds.
You have a nihilistic mindset. It stifles your imagination. You see what man has done and you equate it to who God is. Your science god has your mind in a materialistic box with no hope of life everlasting. Your philosophy of life is one of a depressing dead end.

The evidence against religion being "man-made" is that it is more evil than man.

Originally posted by @wolfgang59Are you sure you’re not confusing religion with what men have done in the name of religion?

Originally posted by @romans1009Why do you take it upon yourself to tell people about your religion then? You don't "let the foundational texts speak for themselves", I notice.
I wouldn’t ask a pastor, priest, rabbi or imam to tell me about the religion, and I wouldn’t base my opinion on a religion on what men have done in its name.
Let the foundational texts speak for themselves.

Originally posted by @fmfAll I do and have done here and on other sites is respond to open questions and what I view as false statements about Christianity. And I often post verses from the New Testament (as well as the Old Testament) and encourage people to read and even hand-write the Bible.

Very interesting spin.
Exception: cancer.
Feeds on and then overtakes the organism and then eventually collapses under its own destruction.
