       A lot of people want to reject Christianity, or any religion, simply because they feel it places rules on people where there shouldn’t be rules. And some feel that all religions are simply the creations of mankind in order to seemingly provide an explanation of life—why life exists and sometimes why the universe exists. Religion, to them, is just make-believe to help people get through and cope with life. When I am talking about this ‘free’ thinking, I mean these people want to be ‘free’ from any restraint upon themselves, any restrictions on their behavior and thinking. Let us go through these contentions one-by-one as we seek to understand people’s errors when it comes to these lines of thinking. So, first, contention one: “I can believe what I want. Whatever I personally think, that’s ok for me.” This argument sounds good at first glance, and it is very tolerant of what other people may believe. But when examining the logic behind this type of thinking, it becomes clear, rather quickly, that this kind of thinking isn’t that logical.
