Challenge: Either Accept All the Miracles, or Reject Them
This atheist thinks you���re committing a ���logical and hypocritical fallacy��� by believing Christian miracles and rejecting the miracles of other religions:
Christians accept without reservation that the miracles described in the Bible were actual historical events. However, at the same time they discount the miracle stories of other religions, such as:
Mohammed���s night journey to Jerusalem and then to heaven
Mohammed splitting of the moon
Mohammed���s food and water multiplication
The spider web protecting Mohammed in the cave���.What should be evident to an objective person is that the evidence for the Christian miracles is no more convincing than the evidence for non-Christian miracles. To selectively believe one religion���s miracles while discounting all of the others is a logical and hypocritical fallacy. It is highly unlikely that all of the world���s proclaimed miracles are true, still unlikely that the miracles of one religion are true and the others false, but otherwise it is very likely that they are all false.
