Christianity would have us believe that god made his presence known on earth in the form of Jesus Christ. He did this in the general vicinity of Rome. Two thousand years ago people of that area knew nothing about, and could not communicate with, the people of North & South America, Australia, etc.

If god did indeed want to make his presence known to the peoples of this world, why didn’t he also incarnate himself in other parts of the world simultaneously? Alternatively, He could have waited until, say, last year and gotten world wide coverage.

Your argument has been discussed in Thomas Clearly's 'The Japanese Art of War' reciting Suzuki's thesis about your question (pp102).
Christianity is a religion that ignores others, considering there are over 33000 church denominations, how can one possibily belief such teachings? Check the book of revelations:
out of the multitudes of human, only 144000 are saved to live in heaven. It means that the majority of us are doomed isn't it? How many men and women has been born or come into being in this world if we count back from the first men: Adam & Eve until today?
I suggest you forgo your doubts about Christianity and go along your way. You will be a better off without it.

I have also never received a plausible answer to this question. What limits God from having more than one son? How about sending his daughter now that we have world wide coverage as you stated? I would be more than willing to rethink my positions if the daughter of God was here on earth preaching the same gospels and performing observed and substantiated miracles. Maybe she could also make a cool million off James Randi.

Like Judas says in Jesus Christ Superstar:

"....Why'd you choose such a backward time in such a strange land?

If you'd come today you would have reached a whole nation, Israel in 4 B.C. had no mass communication..."

(hope I got that right)

CosmicDust,

I have no doubts about Christianity and I get along very well without it or any other religion. My question was (sarcastically) directed at christians.

Can you tell me a little more about this.

You have never received a plausible answer (and you never will) because it is an uninformed question.

theophilus

Thank you for exposing your true motivation before I wasted time answering your (sarcastic) question.
However, you are deceiving yourself in saying you "get along very well without" Christianity. If that were true, you wouldn't be here posting sarcastic questions.
You are driven by a need to justify your unbelief by challenging the belief of others.

theophilus,

How about providing some information then so that I am better informed?

And you're here...why?

People in glass houses...

So, if a Christian is sarcastic, does that prove he/she is not getting along ok? Or are they simply emulating Paul the Apostle's style? (according to the texts handed down)

love
Helen

Just change two words around and you suddenly have Theo`s reason for being here......

&lt;&lt;Looks like Helen beat me to it. &gt;&gt;
