See, i don't agree here. I never noticed christianity to have some identifiable internal logic. There's a very clear wall between the teachings and observed behavior and the teachings are often lacking congruence. There's also no clear way to identify which teachings will be used as they appear and which will be considered to be metaphorical.
And last but not least, there's no way to know what principles are used to judge which rule is to be applied and which rule is to be dismissed. Yet, the religion always uses for example, their holy books or some other reposits of the religious teachings AS the moral compass to be used.
This is paradoxical. And absurd.
I just see no way anybody could honestly defend such a cyclic reasoning.
Have you ever read Mere Christianity? CS Lewis was a highly logical, NT ex-atheist who argued rationally for Christianity.
