"If Christianity is man made, why does everything about it go against man’s desires? Atheists can't answer this question" ...but they Can - eviltoast

If Christianity is man made, why does everything about it go against man’s desires? Does Christianity go against man’s desires? If so, is that evidence for Christianity? I answer this question, discussing the history of Christianity, the cognitive science of religion, Buddhism, Jainism, Islam, and more.

The whole “atheists can’t answer this question” and “atheists can’t explain this” thing is really getting old.

    As above I agree up to a point. In the end ideas like “significance” and “purposes” are just humans constructs and can ultimately being find in different aspects of someone life, just like “happiness”. Even without a human-centric universe, or any grain of spirituality, we can still see our existence as an “Happy incident” of casuality, and find our own purpose. In some regards, the grandiose promises made by the religions are even “reductive”, compared to what our potential as species can archive. Or we can simply “be” end enjoy our little vacancy away from the entropy in all his many wonderful aspects.
