I am interested to hear others opinions regarding what they see, as the biggest stones on the road for the religious, they can't help but stub their toes on. These would vary from one religion to another obviously. Here are some that come to mind for me:
1. Soul saving.
A big one for Christianity because of the "Jesus being the only way to get saved" theology. Souled babies dying before salvation and others who have never heard of Jesus being the casualties.
2. God's purpose.
Dealt with in great detail on another thread with little input from theists.
3. Choosing to believe.
Christians and Muslims share this notion that folk can "choose to believe" something and if they don't look out.
4. Time/Size scale.
Overlaps a bit with God's purpose, but the tiny insignificance of us and the planet we live on, compared to the overall size of everything.
5. Being born in the right place.
One of Dawkins favourite points about being the religion you were born into.
6. God being good no matter how vile his actions.
Self explanatory referring to Christian,Islamic, and Hebrew text.
7. God having a chosen people.
Sure he changed his mind about this when he was doing his stuff as Jesus, but it was hard lines on the outsiders before this.
8. For Catholics the claim the Pope wears the fisherman's shoes.
Referring to the dodgy history of his accession.
9. For Islam Mohamed's paedophilia.
No explanation needed.
10. The Hell idea.
Why does God need to punish those who just don't believe him for eternity.
