"Surely, if there is a god and life after death, he can do better than this."

That is the deal-breaker with Christianity for me. If there were the Christian God He could do better than the Bible in communicating with His people.

And, if there is a Heaven, I wondered why Christian ministers weren't just busting their asses to get into it. I remember J. Vernon McGhee of "Through the Bible" after he was diagnosed with a serious illness. He went on his radio program and talked about dying. He did not want to go, at all, even a little bit, had no interest in a celestial home. He fought it tooth and nail all the way.

And, as with most things we truly fear, it came to pass. He's long gone, but the radio program is being rebroadcast.

I know early Christians were eager to be martyred so as to join Jesus, but that mind-set has disappeared. However, suicide-bombing Muslims truly seem to believe they are going to Heaven. Says a lot about their faith.
