Christianity is an Irrational Religion

I would also like to elaborate more on your brief summary of Christianity. I agree with it to some degree, however when you say he "brought his son" I do not entirely agree as the Trinity does not exist and there is only one God. My opponent has allowed me to put my own thoughts into his summary on Christianity, for example, the Trinity, which will ultimately help me win this case. So to begin, I'll talk more about Christianity, and then refute my opponent's points. Christianity: My opponent opens up his summary of Christianity with saying that God is omnipresent and omnipotent and that God created the universe and everything in it, which I agree with. My opponent then goes on to say that God brought his son into the earth and was named Jesus. I will assume that my opponent is going off the canon Christian belief that Jesus is God and is the literal son of God. However, there are several things wrong with this and there are several things wrong with the Trinity. Mainly, the Trinity promotes polytheistic views that do not fall in line with monotheistic views Christianity is supposed to be. Additionally, Jesus admits himself that he is not God. Before Jesus gets arrested, he prays to God in John Chapter 17 Verse 3 saying that God is the only true God and separates himself from this equation. Also, since Jesus is not God, then Jesus is not the literal son of God but "a child of God" like everyone else is in that God is our creator. I find these points sufficient enough for now and if you would like me elaborate more I will. Rationality: Next, my opponent uses Wikipedia as a source to define rationality, however, that is irrelevant because rationality is not in the topic, however irrational is. My opponent has already declared his agreement with my definition of irrational and also, Wikipedia is not a reliable source as anyone can make changes to it. Refutation: My opponent bases their first argument off of his definition of rationality. However, I've already refuted that definition and disallowed him from further usage of that term. Due to how my opponent agrees with my definition of irrational, we will use that term instead which I forgot to mention I obtained from [1], which says "Not endowed with reason". Basically, to defend my position, I would have to prove that Christianity does have reason or explanation. Because Christian God has explanation (the Bible) then the Christian God is not irrational. Since the Christianity God does have explanation and because I've disallowed your usage of rationality, your first contention as been thrown out. Next, you base your second contention off of your first contention saying that if the Christian God is irrational, then the religion is irrational. Since I've just proved the Christian God is not irrational, then based off of your logic, the religion is not irrational. On to your third point, since Jesus is not God and is not the literal son of God, like I've explained earlier, then that collapses your whole contention. Finally, you talk about punishment and how it is irrational. However, you are assuming hell exists when it doesn't. Firstly, God loves his creations and always talks about forgiveness such as Matthew 5:12, Matthew 6:12, Romans 12:14, Matthew 26:28, and Ephesians 4:32. From these two conclusions, why would he throw his creations into hell? Additionally, find me a Bible verse saying that we go to hell. Since hell doesn't exist, then your last contention falls. Conclusion: Well that's all on my part. I've thoroughly refuted your points and added more elaboration on Christianity which helped me take out a lot of your contentions. Please feel free to refute back on my refutations. References: [1] . http://www.thefreedictionary.com...
