Well, gee, Sims, while we're not forgetting, let's not forget about the
resurrection. Would it be appropriate to say that if this one element of the
Christian system is rendered disputable, or even false, then the entire
system is demolished?  If you say no, I'll let you argue with the apostle
Paul who said that if Christ has not been raised, then your faith is vain (1
Cor. 15:17).

What you apparently can't see is that some Christian doctrines are so
central to this religious system that if those doctrines are shown to be
false or indefensible, then the Christian system is rendered virtually
worthless.
