Objections to Christianity
Introduction
There are plenty of reasons skeptics give for objecting to Christianity - it is anti-women, anti-environmental, racist, anti-Semetic, and pro-slavery. In addition, Christian apologetics is often characterized as just being a God of the gaps approach, in which our small place in the universe is dwarfed by the immense size and obvious waste of effort by a clumsy or absent God.
