>>23068136you're mocking the delay in Christ's return as if it disproves Christianity, but that assumes a purely human timeline and expectation.
the verses you quoted already anticipate that objection.
2 Peter 3:8 explicitly reframes time from a divine perspective.
that's not "cope," it's a theological claim about God's nature and patience.
you're free to reject that claim, but calling it "cope" doesn't refute it, it just signals that you don't like it. which is fine, but it's not an argument.
and more importantly, you didn't address the deeper issue.
if Christianity is false, what's your alternative? what worldview do you hold that can account for logic, moral obligation, and existential meaning without collapsing into relativism or nihilism?
you're critiquing Christianity using tools (reason, moral judgment, historical analysis) that only make sense within a framework that presupposes order, value and truth. if your worldveiw is purely materialistic or reductionist, then those tools are just neural firings with no binding significance.
so again, what's your grounding? if you're going to call Christianity "cope," then show us a worldview that doesn't need it, and still makes life coherent.
