If you were in a debate with someone and could only present one piece of evidence against Christianity, what would it be?

Jesus was a man and not God.

I'd take the Judge Judy Approach: Written testimony is simply inadmissable evidence. Unless the person who made the statement is here in court such testimony is worthless.

Not sure that works, M...Christianity is a historical religion and most historical facts are eye-witness recordings left by people who cannot come to court to testify as it were.

Bubba, playing devil's advocate.

Hey Bubba, why it would be Christianity of course. I would put the defendent on the stand so to speak.

It's Xenu we should worship, not this 'god'.

One of my favorites:
This story is near impossible to "reinterpret" without still making Jesus a racist meanie. To get Jesus to help she has to kneel, beg, and agree that she is a dog. You likely won't hear this one in a Sunday sermon.

Quote:

A Canaanite woman from that vicinity came to him, crying out,

"Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is suffering
terribly from demon possession."

Jesus did not answer a word. So his disciples came to him and
urged him, "Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us."

He answered, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel."
The woman came up and knelt before him. "Lord, help me!" she
said.

He replied, "It is not right to take the children's bread and
toss it to their dogs."
"Yes, Lord," she said, "but even the dogs eat the crumbs that
fall from their masters' table."

Then Jesus answered, "Woman, you have great faith! Your
request is granted." And her daughter was healed from that very
hour. (Matt 15:21-28)
