I want to organise a series of lectures / debates addressing the questions people have about Christianity.

That is not going to happen here.
Here it is Do not use scripture, AThesist fighting against a God they do not believe in, now that is what scares me. Fighting against something that does not exist.
The best thing to do is what do you want to lecture about and let us jump on it.

Why do you feel you need to believe in anything?
Why do you find it difficult to accept that you are just an animal with a big brain? Why does there have to be anything else like Heaven or a life eternal beyond the life we live now? Do you really, really believe in God or just need to have faith in something greater than the everyday? If I am not a Christian, will I be damned when I die? If so, what gives the right to say that I will? Why do you live your life based on a book that someone wrote, do you honestly believe it to be the work of God? If God does exist, why doesn't God blaze the words 'I Exist' in fire across the sky 10,000 miles wide so that we can all believe and be happy as Christians? Why was it God's choice to give us free will - I don't want free-will so he's taking away by free will to decide I don't want it, etc, etc,

Does anybody understand Christ's message?
He preached peace, but also justice. He spoke about 'my father's house,' but never said that he was the son of god. He would be appalled at the hatred spread in his name against Muslims.
Jesus was an outsider who recognised the corruption and arrogance of the upper-class Jews in Palestine. Maybe the first real socialist, he believed that all people were equally valuable, including lepers and Samaritans. He was the first great humanitarian. He preached human rights, which today are being trodden under foot in the name of Christianity.

Okay here is my main problem with organized religion in general. What is really the point of demanding we abstain from alcohol,sex, drugs, things of that nature, when all we need to do is ask Him into our hearts and all is forgiven. I agree we should all live good lives, but I believe everything in moderation. If I want to get drunk one night it isn't going to cause any harm. However if I get drunk everynight that is when it becomes a problem. I also have a problem with religions basically saying we have no control over our lifes that everything is predetermined, and we cannot change our circumstances. So can you please answer these for me? Don't get me wrong I am very open-minded, but you did ask.

Why can't Christians agree amongst themselves?
Why do you insist that a 'choice' between worship and torture is a gift?
If God made man in his image is meant to refer to the spirit - the body simply being a vehicle for the actual conscious entity that makes us human - then why do you believe that man is inherently sinful? If the spirit is God's pure creation, modeled on God's own spirit, then sin cannot be inherent unless it is intentionally flawed from conception by its creator, placing sin with God, not man. The physical body, being only a vessel, cannot be to blame.

One of the best Questions YOU can ask the other person is "Where are you going if you are wrong?" People may answer that they are not wrong, but then you can tell them that that wasn't your question. A good resource for questions on Christianity is www.answersingenisis.com. They'll give you the answers too.

If there was no freedom of choice we would be no different from the animals we care for. Only doing what they are programmed to do. If you let someone go, and they come back to you, they mean even more. Same with us. God let us all go to sin so that he can have equal mercy on us all if we return to him. If you have never been sick, you would not know what what healed is.

I'm a Christian and I think that for most people they will wonder if Jesus and Mary Magladane are a couple because of The Da Vinci Code and the history of Jesus.

How can something so fanciful even be considered to be real?
Isn't religion in general just a form of escapism for the weak, unsure and those who can't face the fact that we don't know what happens when we die?
