You could, but the logical burden of proof is on christianity. Even if it were on me it's easy to make an argument from a lack of evidence. For example, if jesus existed and performed miracles then there would clearly be historical proof of it. However, there are no even halfway reliable sources supporting that any such man ever existed except one that very clearly contradicts the bible as to when he would have lived. Therefore the assertion that Jesus never existed is a reasonable claim. If jesus never lived then the bible is at severe fault and there is no basis for christianity except tradition, which isn't convincing.

One could also make the claim that christianity's sources are a joke. For example, look at early Judaism (christianity's daddy). Anyone who has ever studied Chaldean mythology can tell you the entire first part of Genesis (Eden, man from dust, the great flood, etc) was popular mythology as early as two thousand years before the torah was written. In other words, the very foundation of the modern belief in god was stolen from other religions. Satan wasn't even originally in judaism or christianity, he was the Persian god Shaitan (literally translates to 'adversary'), which was basically a knockoff of Egypt's god Set/h. The character Jesus is also nothing more than a knockoff of several similar dieties. Look up Attis of Phrygia, Dionysus/Bacchus, Krishna, Zoroaster/Zarathustra, and Mithra.

First of all, if you do research, the Bible is chronologically and historically accurate, It has specific geneology that spans for hundreds of years, which match with historians own research, signs of the great flood are everywhere, but some scientists are saying that Pangea, a super continent, is the reason for all of the fossils found around the world by the same species. For unexplained happenings in this world, we as humans try to find logic where there is none, just faith. By the way, hundreds of documented witnesses saw Jesus after he died, it only takes two in todays world to convict someone to death. The devil was in the beginning of christianity because he convinced eve to eat the apple from the forbidden tree of knowledge because he told them they would be "like God". That is why there is a hell, Lucifer, the devil, was an angel but wanted to be better and more powerful than God and God sent him to reign in his own "kingdom", hell, seeming powerful now, but destined to fall in the end to Gods power. My point is that Christianity in not a knock off of anything, branched off yes, and it has been branched off of yes, but not a knock off of anything. To the proof of a God, you must believe personally and I know I can't make anyone do that, but that is what it takes and then things will start to make a little more sense in this world. Thanks to anyone who read all this lol :)
