This "enlightenment" you speak of is everything you claim Christianity to be, and Christianity is the precise opposite of those things.
It's superstitious, contradictory, and manipulative to believe in and teach that our limited and weak minds and bodies of flesh and blood can reach the unlimited without God.
How does a consistent and true enlightenment become widespread without the help of the one who's light is enlightening people.
There's no good reason to follow darkened and foolish messages about enlightenment without God's revelation. Any gospel that ignores the Creator is no gospel at all, but destruction.
In my view you have the problem all religious people have. You are unable think about whether god is real or made up to control people. Faith disallows you from thinking about anything that is not in your belief system.
This appears to be an issue of you having simply not studied Christianity enough in any capacity. Go hit YouTube, watch some Frank Turek, Jeff Durbin and John Lennox. All your qualms get answered in depth. Hope you find Christ anon.
No one has been able to answer my questions yet. Why is it that the concept of a god with an only son becomes more and more unlikely the more we learn of the scale of existence? How can it not be obvious that the story was designed to take advantage of ancient people who had no understanding of our galaxy, let alone all the galaxies in existence? Do you think it actually makes sense that an all-powerful god would create our mind-bogglingly vast universe but have only one intelligent species on one planet that he cares for?
Go watch the videos with the names attached and all your questions will be answered. How do I know? Because I asked the same questions not too long ago.
I'm sorry but your comment is ironic.
