The reason for God: Belief in an age of scepticism (2008) - Timothy Keller

There can’s be just one true religion
10 - Our cultural biases make weighing competing truth-claims harder, yes. The social conditionedness of belief is a fact, but it cannot be used to argue that all-truth is completely relative or else the very argument refutes itself.

How could a good God allow suffering?
23 – Just because you can’t see or imagine a good reason why God might allow something to happen doesn’t mean there can’t be one.
24 – Many people have to admit that most of what they really needed for success in life came to them through their most difficult and painful experiences.
26 – If you are sure that this natural world is unjust and filled with evil, you are assuming the reality of some extra-natural (or supernatural) standard by which to make your judgement.

Christianity is a straightjacket / Is believe in absolute truth the enemy of freedom?
46 – A fish, because it absorbs oxygen from water rather than air, is only free if it is restricted and limited to water. In many areas of life, freedom is not so much as the absence of restrictions as finding the right ones, the liberating restrictions.

The church is responsible for so much injustice
53 – The mistaken belief is that a person must ‘clean up’ his pr her own life in order to merit God’s presence is not Christianity.

How can a loving God send people to hell?
73 – Think how we feel when we see someone we love ravaged by unwise actions or relationships. Do we respond with benign tolerance as we might toward strangers? Far from it…Anger isn’t the opposite of love. Hate is, and the final form of hate is indifference.
79 – It is not question of God ‘sending us’ to hell. In each of us there is something growing, which will be hell unless it is snipped in the bud.

Science has disproved Christianity
86 – It is a presupposition and not a scientific finding to say that science has proven/disproved God.

You can’t take Bible literally
114 – If you choose what you want to believe and reject the rest, how will you ever have a God who can contradict you? A God , essentially of your won making, and not a God with whom you can have a relationship and genuine interaction.
