You states "All religions are lies". This is Illogical because
A) I doubt you could even name all religions let alone know enough about all of them.
B) Even if you did know all religions, it's basically impossible to disprove most religions.
By stating "All religions are lies" you assumed the philosphic burden of proof to in fact prove that "all religions are lies." Which is a much higher burden of proof then he set for himself. It's such a comically large burden of proof it collapses your entire arguement around yourself.
Oustide that he largely based his premise on Pagan religions being outdated which is proveable based on religious belief surveys... and didn't do it in as flaming a way as you did.
It's the difference between saying "I think you are misinformed on this issue" "And you are fucking stupid."
Now a correct counter would be say... Hinduism.

I have no interest in disproving obvious lies. I could spend my whole life trying to do that and it would be in vain.
And it's wuite ridiculous to say that a religion is "outdated" based on it's popularity. Just because Christians persecuted pagans and forced them to convert hardly says anything about the validity of either Christianity, or pagan religions.

Not being popular is one of the exact definitions of unpopular.
Also, in general... that's EXACTLY how religious belief spread... before Christianity actually.
|
Since when are "outdated" and "unpopular" synonymous?
And the fatc that Christianity spread just like any other religion just goes to show that there isn't anything special about it, and that the fact that it's popular says nothing about it's validity.

1) Basically, always.
2) Er, that's the thing. Judisam and Christianity DIDN'T spread like every other religion... note "before". Previously, religion spread based on strength and died on weakness. To be defeated meant your religion disapeared.
Judaism did not...when the Kingdoms of Israel and Judiah fell to the Assyrians it's religion survived.
it survived defeat when every other religion at that time was destroyed and left devoid of believers. It wasn't even put in a "danger" status.
Essentially it survived in a situation where no other religion has surivived, and no other religion has survived since... in an era where such a thing was considered inconceivable.
