Of course, I realize that most Christians don't consider themselves to be gullible. They believe that there is LOTS of information backing up Christianity. They've been told this over and over again, by preachers, and their family and friends, so they just believe it... But when you actually go to Christians and ask them point blank what the evidence is for it, you typically find that they have no idea.
Now if you talk to them online they go and look it up, and copy and paste things from Christian websites. But if you talk to them in the real world and ask them what the information is, they have no idea... Most of them anyway, at least 75% of them are just Sunday Christians. The inner core of Christianity is only like 20-25% of them, the fundamentalists.This person is right on the mark when it comes to evaluating the vast majority of Christians in North American today. Most go to church on Sunday and learn all the lessons about what happens to the various figures in the bible while learning much more about the particular life of the the pastor to whom the are listening. However, when asked about evidence or a reason for their faith, there is ambiguous talk of how it changed their life or they give their testimony. Testimonies are good, but it is no substitute for reason. It does the non-Christian little good to hear that this system of belief has made you a better person. Mormons are very well behaving people who have their lives in order. So what! They are still lost.
Christian, study the reasons behind your faith. There are many. Practice telling others that are close to you these reasons, so you are better able to give these reasons to those not so close to you. We must be intelligent about our faith. It is reasonable along with being of faith. It is also historical. Your faith is bound to a historical event. Do not forget that. Think more while continuing to cultivate your feelings for the service and defense of our Lord, Christ Jesus.
