[How do we know Christianity is true?]
It is true because the only history that makes any sense at all is Creationism and that means the Bible is true.

How about the history that historians, scientists, archeologists and paleontologists have pieced together over many hundreds of years using hard evidence, fact and hypothesis? That makes more sense then Creationism.
"It is true because the only history that makes any sense at all is Creationism and that means the Bible is true."
Fine. For the sake of argument, creationism is true. Now explain why that leads to the Bible being true, and only the Bible being true.
Creationism is not religion in disguise, remember. It's a well supported, scientifically valid observation of known reality (ow... my head!) which is completely unrelated to any religion, according to its supporters. At least those trying to get it taught in school. So where does the Bible fit in?
We know the bible is true because it says so in the bible and we know the bible is true because it says so in the bible and we know the bible is true because it says so in the bible...
Yahoo answers... where logic and reason go to die.
*edit* This is for real, after I typed this, I walked into the other room and that song "You spin me round and round right round" was playing on the radio. I think it's a sign from the Flying Spaghetti Monster to not listen to Christians when they try to prove their religion true. Praise the FSM!
By "sense" he means talking snakes, women made out of a guy's rib, water from some mysterious source that covers all the mountains, a piece of magic fruit that tells you if you're naked and a "firmament" that has mysteriously disappeared.

O RLY? Which version of the creation? The Bible gives two mutually exclusive accounts.
You don't even have to know that both of these versions are completely at odds with all known physical evidence to know that at least ONE of them must be wrong, and that means that the Bible is wrong.

No. We know christianity to be false, beyond any reasonable doubt. Lies, contradictions, invention, lies, wishful thinking, hatred, lies, patriarchal authoritarian clap-trap, lies - that's all christianity is.
Let's not forget the Dover case.
In Dover Pennsylvania.
It was proven, beyond all reasonable
doubt, that Creationism is not science
but religion in disguise.
So which idea of religion should
we rely upon?
The Catholics? The Mormons? Baptists?
Jehova's Wtnesses? The Amish?..etc?
Come on now, get real.
It only makes sense if the only book you've read was the Bible and never any history and science books or did any research. And even then you need to find some way to explain how a man lived inside a whale, a talking snake, why it claims that insects have four legs when you can count six, and various other errors.

The nutty story in Genesis makes perfect, historical sense?
Where are the 4 rivers that come together in Eden?
Vegetarian animals? ALL OF THEM?!
It makes sense that a naked Adam can hide from Jehovah and your all-powerful god cannot find him?
The solid sky called the "firmament" with windows to open for rain makes sense?
@ Reverend Jeremiah :
To be fair, the whole "nothing ever died before the Fall" thing appears nowhere in Genesis. It's a later, New Testament creation. There's nothing in Genesis itself that indicates the carnivorous animals didn't eat other animals before the Fall.
Huh? It makes sense? Since when?
Chapter 1: God creates everything, in a rather random order.
Chapter 2: God creates everything, in a different order. Creates magic tree. Tells man not to eat it, man will die when he eats from the magic tree. This is soon revealed as a lie.
Chapter 3: Talking snake convinces rib-woman to eat from the magic tree, rib-woman convinces man to eat, also. Snake tells them that instead of death, the tree will give them knowledge of good and evil, which they lack. After eating from the tree, which they couldn't have possibly known to be wrong, god gets pissy, kicks them out of paradise so that they won't find the other magic tree and become immortal and equal to god. Snake is cursed for all time for lying to humans (except he told the truth), humans are cursed so that we all now have to suffer for something someone else did, and the only way out of this is for some guy to be horribly beaten and killed four thousand years later. (what about all those people during those four thousand years? They're just out of luck.)
Yeah.
That makes perfect sense.
Guess what? Your circular logic... music please... *spins me right round baby, right round, like a record baby, right round-round-round*
(Man, who ever thought that incoherent babble could be so catchy?)
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
