I'm looking for a book that introduces christianity.

It's NOT Christianity for dummies. It was released in 2007-2009-ish. The cover was black with pink text and pictures, I think.

It had one example on what's a miracle ISN'T; if you lose your keys and find them it is not a miracle, even if it feels that way.

Please help me /lit/, you're my only hope.

It says that but the original publishing date was in 2007 and it has the exact example. Probably what you're looking for.

Google works wonders

The key example may be even older than 2007-ish.

Thanks for the book advice, but this was specifically about christianity.

I personally remember being at church at hearing a story from the pastor that he lost his keys in the sand, made a prayer, and his wife sank her hand in the sand one more time to find the keys miraculously.

At the time of hearing that story, perhaps not being older than twelve, I neither believed nor disvilieved that that story. It was just a story to me.

Honestly I wonder how I even became an atheist, I perhaps never tought about it ´till I was asked if I believed in god, but for someone who had been going to a couple of different churches a week for years in his childhood, I cannot concieved how they failed to implant the belief in me. My guess is that I might have watched a science documentary or several at a very early stage, the argument being about what we know and about what we dont know, and about whats a theory and whatnot, explained with animations of evolution, the planets, and so on, perhaps the image of a primitive man at a museum set the tone, as I do recall a lot of my childhood dreams were about paleolitical/jurasical lands, sometimes before that with no life whatsoever or barely trace of a plant world barely starting to form in a chaotic natural word, I guess dinosaurs were popular then.


Anyway, do read that >>15368583

OP here. The cover had a design *kinda* similar to this one.

Tbf there's nothing more atheist or agnostic making than religion.
