I understand that for some it is fun to take potshots at Christians and not think about things beyond your typical predictable inch deep and mile wide list of atheist objections. I know there is an answer for every one of them and[...]
...and every one of those answers is a string of convoluted ad hoc bullsh*t. Look - it's easy to make up explanations, when you're not bound by reality, or testibility of your claims. Star Wars geeks can explain pretty much ANYTHING within that piece of fiction - that doesn't make the Force, or Jedi any more real. And Star Wars are only a few decades old - religious apologists have been working for thousands of years on the ingratiating nonsense you now regurgitate. Quite frankly - after all that time and effort - we're not impressed.
Your god seems to only be omnipotent when it suits you. He can only interfere with free will when it suits you. Your holy book is only meant to be taken literally when it suits you. It's also actual word of god only when it suits you. Words mean whatever you want them to mean - depending on what suits you. And you still haven't got a single actual piece of evidence for even the most basic of your claims, like the divinity of Jesus, or resurrection.
All the mental gymnastic only work on people, who are already desperate to believe that they will live forever and who have absolutely no interest in learning any facts, that are contradictory to their presumed notions. And that's why religions target children, because if you were brought up without a belief in christian theology and read the bible as an adult - you'd laugh your ar*e off.
