Welcome to circular logic theater. There’s a Christian guy making videos on YouTube. One of his recent videos (Why Choose Christianity over other Religions), he attempts to answer the questions: “Could you do a video on why Christianity is the only true faith? Why are there so many different religions if Christianity is the only true faith? What makes Christianity the only true faith?” What answer does he give? Why, he quotes the Bible, which says belief in Jesus leads to heaven, non-belief leads to hell. So, once you accept that the Bible is true, then you can show that the only Christianity solves the problem of sin (*that the Bible says exists) – making Christianity the only religion you should follow.
Next week: proving that Islam is the only true religion and Christians are blasphemers who will burn in hell (*once you accept the Koran as the authoritative word of God).
It reminded me of Edward Current’s satire:
I think the problem is that he can’t step away from his own belief system long enough to even think through it. Funny enough, in other videos, he claims to “prove” that Christians are smarter and wiser than atheists – who are “fools”, of course. (Maybe this guy should team-up with Kirk Cameron and Ray Comfort.)
On that note, enjoy this circular-logic clip from Idiocracy:
I have never made but one prayer to God, a very short one: “O Lord make my enemies ridiculous.” And God granted it.
- Voltaire
Sorry, this youtube video is a satire.
But, frankly, you can find plenty of Christians – Ray Comfort, for eg – who say things just like this.
Watch this video
Actually, it’s not satire. You can tell he’s quite sincere. I also looked through some of his other videos. They’re all sincere.
