ANSWERS
Will God defeat evil? Or fail spectacularly?
They aren’t sure
When searching for answers, should we turn to religion? If so, which one? And is the teacher with the most impressive credentials the one whom you should trust? Even within each religion there is plenty of disagreement on what is true.
You’re responsible
The truth can be hard to find. Even so, most every religion makes it clear: If you don’t find the right answers and embrace the correct beliefs, you will spend the rest of eternity in hell. Only you will be held responsible―not others.
Religious confusion
Modern religious teachings are riddled with glaring contradictions. For example, Christian leaders struggle with simple questions like this:
Why do Christians teach that Jesus came to defeat sin and death―yet claim both will continue to exist forever?
Few are willing to address the obvious problems that plague organized religion with honest, objective reasoning. Most leaders’ answers are couched in careful language that seems crafted to sidestep the question, or to discourage digging deeper.
The hard truth is that most religious institutions train new leaders to answer tough questions with canned answers, but they do not train them to think for themselves. This is left to you.
“Faith that can’t withstand scrutiny isn’t worth having.”
Believable answers
Bothered by what you’ve heard?
Many people simply defend what they’ve been taught. They have little understanding of their own faith, and offer shallow explanations to obvious problems.
Most of us want real answers. This explains the waning influence of religion: Reasonable people are not satisfied with the answers they’re getting.
Believable will change the way you think about God, the existence of evil, and the afterlife. It starts from scratch, assumes no prior knowledge, and is easy to read. Each chapter is engaging and interesting, yet profoundly insightful. Conclusions are drawn based on logic, history, and observable reality.
Most importantly, it uncovers the ultimate answer to mankind’s fate: Our Creator has promised to win the heart of every single person he created―a fact denied by the modern church, but fully embraced by the earliest believers.
Is the future more beautiful than we’ve been told?
Who is right?
Logical Answers
Believable does not simply make broad assertions or feel-good statements. It presents the factual basis for each position, and encourages the reader to research evidence and arrive at their own conclusions. It was designed to intrigue, challenge, and provoke―and to provide logical answers. J.D. Atkinson approaches the most difficult questions with unparalleled objectivity and logic. You’ll discover real answers to these questions and more:
- If there really is a loving God, why does he allow us to endure so much pain?
- How can we prove that virtually all religions are wrong?
- Is any religious text really trustworthy?
- How did evil come to exist, and why is it allowed to continue?
- What really happens when we die?
Is endless hell really the best solution an all-loving, all-powerful God can come up with?
This changes everything
Regardless of your faith, Believable is a bold, honest, and refreshing take on belief in God.
