Challenge: Proof That Christianity Is Wrong
Here’s an argument I found, offering “Proof That Christianity Is Wrong”:
This argument is based upon the following premises:A.) Christianity states the following:
God is benevolent, just and fair
When you die, your soul goes either to heaven or to hell…
The only way to salvation (i.e. Heaven) is thru a belief in Jesus Christ. One literally has to accept Jesus as ones saviorB.) Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (better known as just Gandhi) is universally accepted as a great and decent human being who:
Lived for just over 78 years and is now deceased
Was a Hindu
Was a deeply religious and spiritual man however never accepted Jesus Christ as his saviour in the 78 plus years of his life.
The three following conclusions can be drawn from the above statements:1.) Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi is now in hell as he never accepted Jesus as his saviour
Therefore God is not benevolent, just and fair.
Therefore Christianity is wrong2.) Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi is now in heaven
Therefore a belief in and acceptance of Jesus Christ as your saviour is not necessary to go to heaven
Therefore Christianity is wrong3.) Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi is neither in heaven or hell
Therefore your soul does not go to heaven or hell when you die.
Therefore Christianity is wrong. [Formatting added for clarity]
