Question Title

* 7. From the list below, what do you think are the hardest objections for Christians to answer about their faith? Rank them with the hardest being number 1.

WHATEVER. I doubt Christianity is even relevant to my life. I'm not interested in it at all.

THE BIBLE. I doubt we can trust the bible. I believe it's full of myths & fairy tales. It's not historically reliable. It was probably made up or embellished or mistranslated over time.

CHURCH. I doubt Christianity can be true because I believe the church is full of sexual abuse, greed, and cover-ups.

HYPOCRISY. I doubt following Jesus is worth it because Christians are such hypocrites.

TOO NARROW. I doubt there’s only one true way to God. I believe all religions are equally true and valid. Everyone should be able to believe whatever they want to believe, and follow whatever path works for them. It's all just a matter of opinion.

GOD. I doubt God exists. I only believe in what can be proved. I've never seen Him or heard Him, and no-one can prove He is real.

HOMOSEXUALITY. I doubt a loving God would say it's wrong for people of the same gender to have sex or get married. The church is outdated, oppressive, judgmental and homophobic. It restricts people's freedom with all it's rules.

HELL. I doubt a loving God would really send people to Hell.

MORALS. I doubt there is one set of morals that everyone should follow. I believe everyone should be able to live however they want. You don't need a book to tell you how to live. Just do what's right for you.

RELIGIOUS VIOLENCE. I doubt Christianity is true because religions cause wars. The Old Testament encourages genocide, and throughout history Christians have lead the Crusades and Witch Hunts in the name of God.

RESURRECTION. I doubt Jesus came back to life after being dead for 3 days.

SCIENCE. I doubt Christianity is true because it doesn't match up with science and evolution. I don't believe in the supernatural or in miracles, but only what science can prove.

SUFFERING. I doubt a loving God would allow so much evil and suffering in the world. Surely if God was real, he'd either not let it happen, or He'd answer our prayers and do something about it.

ATTITUDE TO WOMEN. I doubt Christianity is right because it treats men and women differently, and I believe there should be total equality for both genders.
