as an agnostic,, the most interesting argument for Christianity is the notion of a human telos: that we are meant to order our passions in spite of our inherent inclination toward disorder. Such a teleological structure, with its hierarchy of virtues, seems only achievable if God assists humanity in rising above its fallen condition. This Thomistic framework aligns so precisely with Christian doctrine that it feels like a philosophical argument in its favor

I have a moral argument: Christ's commandment to pray for and bless our enemies. No human being invents something like that—not even the kindest and most loving ones. Only God comes up with such a thought for us humans.

I love the Eucharistic miracles. I also love Thomas Aquinas’ “unmoved mover” argument (and such variations thereof). It’s basically like a kind of “reversed but valid mathematical proof-by-induction,” aka, “proof-by-dominos.”

Ontological argument. Specifically the face people make when you first explain it to them. Then the face they make when they can't easily debunk it. 😂

Lewis Liar, Lunatic or Lord argument is one of my favorites. The Historicity argument is good too.

As an atheist, for me one of the most convincing arguments for Christianity is this: Life is language. Every living being, even the simplest lifeform is comprised of DNA, which is a code or language determining the function of each cell. To reproduce, living things transmit DNA to the next generation - they "talk" to their offspring, providing pieces of their genetic language to create a new being with its own "story" written into its cells. If you think about how this came to be, it seems impossible. Let's say the universe was caused by the big bang. Big explosion. The creation of elements like carbon, hydrogen, zinc, and so on. Rocks and dusts and metals shoot off for billions of billions of miles, bumping off each other for hundreds of billions of years. And at some point, these rocks and dust bump into each other in such a way that they.. organise themselves into a legible code that causes the materials to self-replicate?? What? How exactly did this happen? How did inanimate matter arrange itself into an infinitely complicated language like that, and create creatures so complex that they themselves have now learned how to re-write their own DNA, ie, humans? Well, so they say, a man called Jesus came, claiming to be the creator of the universe and all life in it. 2000 years before the invention of the microscope and the discovery of the language of DNA. And what did he call himself? The Word.

From Russel's problem of induction Even if the atheist can somehow explain fine-tuning, as Bertrand Russel demonstrated, there's no reason induction should be considered valid reasoning, so there's no reason for the atheist to believe constant universal laws should exist in the first place But if God exists, you'd expect an orderly and intelligible universe Edit: to explain the argument better, Russel said that the only reason we believe in the use of induction (ex.: the sun will rise tomorrow, since it has risen every day prior) is by appealing to the fact induction has always worked before, meaning our concession of induction is based on circular reasoning Therefore, there's no logical reason why an atheist should believe gravity will still work tomorrow, for example

Jesus is present at every Holy sacrifice of the mass. Under the appearances of bead and wine. We offer up to God. The last supper ❤ He founded his church upon Peter and the gates of hell will not prevail. Thank God for Christianity and what we have taught throughout the world God bless all those who are teaching, and thank you all Saints and martyrs dying for the truth. Learn about the sacraments and teach each other .

A triune God can truly be independent while being perfect in love. Any other good cant be both...
