A hypothetical question for people who are religious - What would it take for you to abandon your faith?
Hypothetically, let's imagine that in the future a time machine was invented and researchers were able to go back to the time of Jesus. If they found that :
a) Jesus was just an ordinary human.
b) Evidence was found that proved beyond any doubt that Mary was not a virgin, and that Jesus had a regular ordinary human father.
c) That the reported miracles he performed were not miracles at all, that everything miraculous reported throughout the entire history of the bible had ordinary explanations rooted in the natural world.
d) That he was just an ordinary preacher of the day
e) That many of the events reported in the bible were exaggerated, or simply did not happen.
f) That nothing out of the ordinary really happened during this time.
If all of this evidence was found, if the entire story was indisputably and totally debunked - would you still have faith and believe?
h) If JESUS HIMSELF came up to you and admitted that he was NOT the son of god, that he was just a man, that he was in the whole religion game just for the money?
Be HONEST - would you then question your faith and belief in his church? Would you?
