[net.religion] Objective evidence: fanning the flames

mgp@uvacs.UUCP (04/19/84)

A few people on the net now appear to have the attitude that there is not
enough objective experience to support the claims of Christianity.

My question:  Isn't this idea itself incompatable with Christianity.
Because Romans 1:18-21 says - (Revised Berkeley Verson)

    [G-d is indignant with people who deny Him]
    because whatever can be known regarding G-d is evident to them,
    for G-d has shown it to them.  From the creation of the world
    His invisible qualities, such as His eternal power and divine
    nature, have been made visible and have been understood through
    His handiwork.  So they are without excuse.  Because, although
    they had knowledge of G-d,
    [they failed to render Him praise, ...]

This appears to include everybody on Earth, not just those who have been
witnessed to by Christians, or who have even heard of Christianity.


Lest someone accuse me of quoting Scripture instead of thinking for myself,
I wish to point out that this is intended only to convince those people
who are already Christians of my point.
