How do you prove a Christian wrong?

Answer 1

A:

You don't really need to prove to a Christian that he is wrong just to continue believing he is wrong. And even if you do, he will still walk away believing that there is somewhere or other a fault in your logic. He will remain a Christian. That is why it is better to agree that he can believe whatever he wishes to believe and you will equally strongly believe otherwise.

There are many ways to prove a Christian wrong, too many and often too complex to cover here. Of course, Christians like to place the onus on atheists to disprove the Christian faith, because it is so much harder to prove a negative. Fairness and an accepted rule of logic say that the person making an assertion should prove that assertion, and therefore a Christian must first prove to you that Christianity is true. He will be entirely unable to do so, simply relying on 'faith', his Bible or flawed claims that there is evidence somewhere in nature. This inability to prove his faith true is in itself evidence that it is probably not true.

If the Christian refuses to accept that the person making an assertion should prove that assertion, tell him that there is a small, perfectly formed teapot orbiting the sun, in the asteroid belt between Earth and Mars. He will of course refuse to believe this assertion or demand that you prove it - as he should. But you should also refuse to believe in his God or ask him to prove his God's existence.

B:To be honest, you can try to provide a logical "debunk" argument towards an opinion, belief or way of life but it will come from your own thoughts and opinions that have been pre-formed of it. You assume this person (whether they be Christian, Atheist, Muslim, Agnostic, Wiccan, etc) is wrong because their opinions and belief is different from yours.

You also have to realize that you are trying to debate a person. This person's experience and knowledge has brought them to whatever belief they currently believe in. They do not know everything in the known universe, neither do you. They cannot answer or explain every question and argument, neither can you.

Therefore, the real issue to tackle is not trying to debate someone or "prove them wrong". It is the belief itself youmust address in your own life. You must evaluate their beliefs (and yours). In an unbiased answer to yourself, is it possible that this belief is true? In an unbiased answer to yourself, is it possible that your belief is true? In the last unbiased answer to yourself, is it possible that your belief is wrong?

Also note, whatever a person's belief is- when they argue with another to disprove that person's beliefs, the first person's belief will not change (regardless of whether it is right or wrong). That means if you are the one that argues to disprove everyone else's beliefs, you will be continually protecting yours and never logically considering theirs could be right or partially right.
