The World-Conquering Fiction: A Critique of the Christian Claim That Christ's Death on the Cross Provides Salvation for a 'Lost' Humankind

The grand claim of the Christian religion is that it alone has the answer to the human plight which is that all people are born into a state of lostness and are estranged from God. If they die outside of Gods grace and salvation they will enter an eternal state of separation from God. The solution to this terrible plight is the saving death of Jesus.But does the Christian doctrine of salvation make sense? Curiously most believers assert that faith isnt supposed to make sense in a human rational way. It is Gods revealed truth the mystery of faith and it can only be understood through faith.That response however has long ceased to be acceptable to most thinking people. The more the theologians explain their view of salvation the deeper the hole of incomprehensibility they dig.We are in the midst of a paradigm shift in our perception of the truth that is shaking the foundations of our inherited religious traditions.
