I've recently been going to church with my parents. Really on the fence about Christianity. Lee Strobel was a guest speaker there recently. He had 5 things of "proof" for Jesus, except it was just him yapping about stories and "miracles".

The main 2 that blew my mind in utter obvious bullshit.

1. A pastor prayed over his wife with an eye disease, (macular degeneration) and cured her blindness that shes had for 10 years......even if this was true, at the very least. What about starving, cancer ridden children. I mean really. nothing else needs to be said about this.
2. He used Near death experiences as an example of being able to see Jesus. Yet, the church obviously isn't studied up on this matter. There is no consistent data backing up that all NDE have Jesus in them, and even if they do. Their description of him is not consistent either.

In the middle east they think they see "allah" aswell in their NDEs.

Like this man could have basically yapped about spiderman being real because there's a movie on him or a little boy dreamed about spiderman.

We have cellphones and cameras galore now. Where are his miracles on camera now? If he is real I don't mean to mock him. But now's the time to be performing some shit!!!!

An all knowing God knows exactly what every person on this earth needs to see to have no doubt in his existence, this shit sounds no more than Santa Claus for adults to get them to behave.

I've experienced a lot of loss and death in my life and to just throw a bullshit "Jesus" answer infuriates me.

This is one of many examples that turn me away. in short the others are rich pastors. "Kenneth Copeland" prosperity gospel, Erika Kirk using her husbands death for a grieving campaign, or just knowing people that identify as Christian but are the most racist and judgemental bastards I know.

Lee did state that "something" has to be after we die. and sure NDE can be used to argue that. But nothing is cut and dry or obvious with the data to point the Christian God, or Jesus.

Anyone share the same thoughts or feelings?

EDIT: Last thought, Infinte punishement, for a Finite crime. Life is so short. to be punished for eternity, for that sounds like emotional manipulation. Sounds like a way to get people in the church so they don't experience eternal torcher, That also doesnt sound like "unconditional love" to me either.

UPDATE: He said 6800. I’m buying that bitch.

In short, a family member of mine is selling a Scagg tiger cat 2 61 in deck. Mower has 210 hours on it. 29hp kohler. Theyre asking 7500, i may get it cheaper. However I have roughly 3 acres and sometimes mow even more when i tackled my neighbors yard.

I feel like this purchase is a no brainer for the price. Most people are asking that for mowers with 1500 hours plus.

I also know for a fact the mower has been well taken care of.

Also i was looking at badboy mowers, seems i can get the same calibur for 8.5 grand.

Thoughts?
