Your one sentence answers make your supposedly "rigorous" and "impartial" and "scientific" criticisms of Christianity very hollow. You don't prove any of the categories and concepts that you use, and you use an informal style that resembles political punditry or an X rated website than it does serious debate.
I think this is the sort of environment in which atheism thrives, in which people can make very controversial, one line assertions without serious arguments because they rely on the fact that atheists eat up intentionally offensive, humorous, non-rational ways of dealing with religion. This is the way that atheists reach the young, who respond less well to serious debate.
The one thing atheists will never do is give a serious reason why God is obligated to act in any way in order to exist as a moral being, given their presuppositions about the world. What they will always do, is assume the truth of Christianity in arguing against it, to assume the truth of 'thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself' while never proving it according to their own system, demanding that God obey the laws God has always followed and always will.
You can either care about defending the entire system of your beliefs with the same rigor you demand from Christianity, or you can go and drink your beer, play video games and go to a stripclub and pat yourself on the back for being a deeper thinker than Christians because 'U DONT BELIEVE THERE FAIRY TALES'
