Why I am still a Christian

For over a hundred years there's been a rumor in the zeitgeist that Christianity's day has past. It is unscientific to believe in the miraculous so there is a duty to limit one's beliefs to the realm of the mundane and the common. While this is mostly true people trying to maintain status among others who hold this belief some Christians have continued to maintain their belief in the resurrection of Christ and this has led them to continue to embrace the historic forms of Christianity. At the end of 2019 and the beginning of 2020 I take some time to do some reflection on why I still believe. 1. The uniqueness of the Bible in human history 2. The unique attractiveness of Jesus 3. The strange paradox of the church 4. The failure of atheist scientism of offer an ought to NOT believing.
