Is not this rather pessimistic? Surely "some" would be more accurate, or even "many"!
The more paths there are to a given conclusion, the more likely is that conclusion to be true,
Repetition
The faith of Christians is no more blind than that of pure scientists, and both are based on rationality.
with religion there are difficulties, but with atheism there are absurdities.

That is why he was, at that point, not a 'doubter' but an 'unbeliever'!

A contract approach to relationships is not God’s way; it is a compromise, necessary because so often we have not the integrity to “do” give-give.
Gee,
Unnecessary - and a euphemism for Jesus (in an attempt to avoid being blasphemous!).
know- how,
No space!
we should look to science to learn how the heavens go and to the Bible to learn how to go to heaven.

Heraclitus’s
See previous comment!
Heraclitus’s

Sophism is the philosophy, or perhaps pseudophilosophy, of power.
Nietzsche died in an asylum for the insane,

The third one sounds out of place as anything that could have developed because of the survival of the fittest.

Happily, Einstein taught us that we are all immortal.
what onlookers perceive as termination of life is actually transition of a mind to timelessness.
Doxa, which gave rise to such English words as orthodox and paradox, refers to everything in the universe as perceived by our senses.

All dogs go to heaven because they do not know right from wrong, and they can therefore not be held responsible for their actions.
What is the evidence that any creature that has not had "the breath of life" breathed into it, lives in eternity?
