99 answers to questions that people ask in connection with the Christian God

Dear visitors,

Welcome to these pages about frequently asked existential questions that many people in western societies, influenced by materialism, ask when considering God and Christianity.

Here you will find rational answers to frequent rejections and questions about Christianity and faith. For example: (1) Does God exist? (2) Why does a loving God allow evil? (3) What proof is there for the existence of God? (4) Why should Christianity be the true/only answer? What about the phenomenon of UFOs and witchcraft? (5) In what ways is Jesus Christ unique?

These pages are intended, primarily, for anyone interested in basic existential questions or in Christianity. A book with the same title, published in the Czech Republic and translated and transferred into this electronic form, uses basically the same material.

Attention! Before reading the actual answers, I recommend reading the introduction to the questions.
