For you atheists out there i have a question for you. what's your problem with Christianity?
Nothing, what's your problem with atheism?
and where do you think you came from anyway?
A long process of evolution
the Big Bang?
Originally....
what's the problem with thinking that there is a God?
What's the problem with accepting that 1.) there might not be a god 2.) Other people have beliefs that differ from your own?
and what if there really is a God and you end up going to hell?
That sucks for me I guess...
and if there isn't a God where do you think you will go?
The ground....(no souls, nothing...)

1) Where did we come from? There's a very long answer to that. Short version - big bang - cosmological evolution - earth - evolution - us.
2) What's the problem in believing in things that don't exist? What if everyone just sat around waiting for the invisible pink unicorns to solve their problems for them? No harm in that, right? What about elected officials doing the same thing? Still no problem?
3) There is no god. There is no hell. So no problem. If there IS a god and he damn you to hell for daring to think, why would you want to spend an eternity worshipping someone like that?
4) Nowhere. This is probably the only life we get.
5) Problem with christianity? Christians who try to turn their bigoted theology into law. It's been used to justify slavery, prevent women's sufferage, and discriminate against homosexuals. That's the problem we have with it.

My problem with Christianity is that it erroneously considers faith a valid epistemological procedure. I also greatly dislike organized supernatural belief and worship in general (though some are worse than others).
I came from my mommy and daddy. Humans in general evolved. No, not from apes. Apes and homo sapiens share a common ancestor. If you want to learn more, visit this site: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/evolution/
"Everything" came from the Big Bang, yes.
What's the problem with thinking there's a God? It's the acceptance of a concept that is logically impossible. I don't generally buy into that which is impossible.
Pascal's Wager is a lousy argument. If you don't know what I'm talking about, look it up. In fact, just visit this link and then pay close attention to the "criticism" section: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal%27s_Wager

So, we have the ape question, Pascal's Wager, cosmological argument... all wrapped into one!
I might be rather inebriated very shortly.
I came from my parents.
The Universe came from the Big Bang, not me - otherwise I would be billions of years old rather than just 27.
Human beings evolved from a common ancestor with apes, not from apes themselves.
The problem with thinking there is a god? No problem for some, big problem for others. Deists, for example - while I may not agree with their belief, you will not see wars, faith based initiatives, science being hindered, etc in the name of Deism.
In short - irrational beliefs can and often do lead to irrational behaviors.
Pascal's Wager is laughable.
I will die, and will then be exactly as I was before being conceived.

What an inane question.
Your question is my problem with Christianity. The assumption that your threat that I'll go to hell will make me take you seriously - Pascal's Wager is not a good argument for the Christian god (or any other). I have no problem with other people thinking there's a god as long as it doesn't affect me. When laws are made based on religious viewpoints then it does affect me.
Where do you think you came from? Which creation story from Genesis do you accept as pure truth?

We came from all of the above: Particles produced durring the big bang reacting with, as yousay, "thin air" in the earth's atmosphere, resulting in the first living uni-cellular organisms. These creatures eventualy evolved into apes, and they evolved into humans.
As for christianity, it DOESNT MAKE ANY SENSE. Sorry people, evolution is scientificaly provable. can you say THAT about your precious bible?
If there is a god AND i end up in hell, better there that your precious heavan.
When you die, your body rots into the earth and whatever's left isn't. Face it. Heavan is just a twig for drowning people to flail at with a false sense of hope.

My problem with Christianity is the fact that you dedicate your entire life to worshiping something with no proof that it exists. That seems pretty...well...dumb to me. I think I came from the big bang and evolution because those theories have PROOF, unlike your god that waves a magic wand and the universe appears. When I die, I think that is just what will happen: I will die. I won't think or have any senses, I just won't be anywhere. Not here, not heaven, not hell. Just dead.

My problem with a majority of Christians is that they preach their beliefs to me as if their word is correct simply because they believe it. Religion and politics are a personal choice. Would you attack me for wearing red simply because you love the color green? I have a different opinion on the afterlife and religion than you do and I expect the same respect from you that I give to you. I respect your belief in God and I will never challenge your belief or offer you the bounds of scientific evidence and solid proof in things like evolution or the historical evidence that prooves the NUMEROUS holes and inaccuracies in the Bible, so why can't you just live your Christian life and allow me to live my own without forcing your dogma down other people's throats who have NO interest in hearing your dogma? People who are religious and believe in God have simple minds that are easy to manipulate and I get very irritated when a lesser educated and simpler mind tries to tell my highly evolved mind to believe in what equates to be a 2,000 year old "tall tale". Please keep your simple minds and "tall tale" beliefs to yourself and leave the highly educated and sophisticated minds alone.

I came into being via Natural Selection - apes and humans have a common ancestor that lived several million years ago.
If God exists, who made him? Did he just appear out of THIN AIR?
*drinks to the wager* Ugh... my third drink tonight. I'm getting drunk...
My problem with Christianity is that Christians hate us -- me. All because we're atheists we have become second class citizens in the U.S.
The question is... what's the Christians problem with atheists?

You know.....the Catholic church did kill between 50 and 60 million people between 538 AD and 1798 AD. The people they chose to kill were the ones keeping the law of Christ...(Sabbath, Passover, Pentecost...etc) among others. So then, why do people call themselves Christians today, while still keeping Sunday, Easter, Christmas......all pagan holidays sacrificed to false Gods, introduced by the Cathilic church? Instead of fighting athiests, we should go back to the truth of the bible and so be saved......instead of meaningless debate.
