Mere Skepticism

C.S. Lewis gave us a book that offers us something we badly need today- clarity. We have lost our confidence in a world of deconversion stories and church scandals. But why? Not because God is not real, or even because there are some hard-to-account-for sections of scripture, but because we let fear lead us when reasons for confidence were right before our noses. We handed our detractors the power when retention and control became more important than truth. How many people have left the church because doubts were stuffed? No one would walk them through the path of truth and see that God was never diminished when everything is considered. God, if He exists, is not afraid of our questions. Skeptics do the same thing the church did; cherry-picking to make the points. If God is God, he never needed the veil of confusion. Please send any questions and issues you want good answers on. If it's over my head, I will send you to reliable sources who care about the truth. You will find me on: Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/mereskeptic...

This is Part Two of a series on why skeptics get God all wrong regarding slavery and many other social justice issues. The temptation is to pain him as uncaring and cold to the suffering of humans. To reach that conclusion, they have to skip the lion's share of scripture that shows that not only does He care for humanity, everything He does is to bring it to the knowledge of Him, to make us family. The question isn't if God loves humanity but whether He does it in a way that his critics will approve of. Many are determined to make the case that He is silent when He is anything but. We will show that He is clear about his purpose and his priorities. He also provides many verses. The apologetic is rooted in the common sense question: What Is The Goal of God? What does scripture say about his focus, and is He the cold and uncaring deity skeptics want to paint him to be? How many people have left the church because doubts were stuffed? No one would walk them through the path of truth and see that God was never diminished when everything is considered. God, if He exists, is not afraid of our questions.

It's time to stop dancing around the barbaric Old Testament! We need to look closely at what God's purposes are and were for humanity. Skeptics have some solid points, but are they rooted in a fair objection? Did they build up an expectation of God that He never claimed, so not fulfilling that role was not as horrendous as He is accused of? Christians have not been taught the tough passages as clearly as they should have been, and sadly it has cost us many who are under the false assumption that God is somehow less good if He didn't have the same goals for humanity. Beyond that, we have failed many hearts that might have been prepared more honestly and not told things that were not true. How many people have left the church because doubts were stuffed? No one would walk them through the path of truth and see that God was never diminished when everything is weighed. Skeptics do the same thing the church was doing//cherrypicking to make the points.

Have you heard how dangerous religion is to humans? How about how we are guilty of causing war and genocide? This does not mean we can't admit it has, just that the blanket claim is inaccurate. Here at Mere Skepticism, we are giving common sense answers to criticisms of skeptics and doubts of Christians and other Faiths. Stuffing doubt is dangerous, and if what you believe is true, you can stand up to doubt and criticism. Fear keeps us from seeking God for the answers we need. Trust me, God is not afraid of your doubt, and you shouldn't be, either. Please send any questions and issues you want good answers on.

Today's answer is to the skeptic who argues God is not real because He doesn't reveal Himself sufficiently. Often it takes the form that God does not reveal Himself as He is expected. There are several lofty reasons this argument does not work, but here we will give some simple reasons this argument does not work the way the skeptic believes. I hope you will find this helpful as you contemplate God and ask the hard questions!

We will build a community to face doubt and answer questions in a down-to-earth way! Are you afraid to face things about the Christian faith? Do X-evangelicals make you nervous? When people deconvert, does it rock your faith? Maybe doubt is the best way to be sure that what you believe is the truth! Let's find out together! We will go over why it's a logical fallacy to say people only accept the faith they are surrounded by. They want that to make you question if it's true. If you have never objectively asked yourself why you believe what you believe, maybe it's time!
