Debunking Christianity? It's actually quite as simple as asking "why?"

I'd be careful talking about 'common sense', it's a bit of a joke, it's basically what people commonly believe is true without reason. Everyone is quick to claim that common sense is on their side, especially for beliefs they feel strongly about, most theists probably think the existence of god is common sense - It's better just to reject the notion outright and focus on reasons for belief.

If there is/was a creator - why would he care about the actions in our silly mundane lives?? Why would god care about who you're fucking? or what you're drinking? what you're piercing? the music you listen to? what you do on Sundays? or what movie you went to see?
Why would God even bother with setting up sin, sacrifices, redemption, atonement and condemnation after making you what you are??

Why bother? Answer -- He wouldn't.

Religion is stupid. The devout are brainwashed, and sacred books have no more credibility than The Brother's Grimm.

You're more than a touch hypocritical here Cinjin, I could just as easily ask you "why would he create a universe?" or "why would he create life?". Answer -- He didn't, he doesn't exist.
