Why should someone pick Christianity over other religions?
Let's compare Krishna and jesus.
Yeshua and Krishna were called both a God and the Son of God. Both was sent from heaven to earth in the form of a man. Both were called Savior, and the second person of the Trinity. His adoptive human father was a carpenter. A spirit or ghost was their actual father. Krishna and Jesus were of royal descent. Both were visited at birth by wise men and shepherds, guided by a star. Angels in both cases issued a warning that the local dictator planned to kill the baby and had issued a decree for his assassination. The parents fled. Mary and Joseph stayed in Muturea; Krishna's parents stayed in Mathura. Both Yeshua and Krishna withdrew to the wilderness as adults, and fasted. Both were identified as "the seed of the woman bruising the serpent's head."Jesus was called "the lion of the tribe of Judah." Krishna was called "the lion of the tribe of Saki." Both claimed: "I am the Resurrection." Both referred to themselves having existed before their birth on earth. Both were "without sin." Both were god-men: being considered both human and divine. They were both considered omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent. Both performed many miracles, including the healing of disease. One of the first miracles that both performed was to make a leper whole. Each cured "all manner of diseases." Both cast out indwelling demons, and raised the dead. Both selected disciples to spread his teachings. Both were meek, and merciful. Both were criticized for associating with sinners. Both encountered a Gentile woman at a well. Both celebrated a last supper. Both forgave his enemies. Both descended into Hell, and were resurrected. Many people witnessed their ascensions into heaven.
What makes Christianity a better choice over other religions?
The similarities bring up the issue of authenticity for both.
Ok, well, why do some people find christianity more believable than others?
Because quite often, its the only religion available...
People choose to believe what they want to believe...or they believe what they are taught to believe...it's simpler than you think.
p
There is no "Better Choice" when it comes to relgion - period. There is no way to debate whether a religion is better than another.
Why would any rational objective person "pick" either? Both Christianity and Krishna are obvious nonsense to an outsider.
What do you mean? More belieable than othe relgions? Or more why do they believe more than others?
Ok, well, why do some people find christianity more believable than others?
Jesus could very easily be fictional as well.
