Hi all, I'm making a list of all the problems people have with Christianity. So please post the ones that are most problematic to you. They can be in the form of questions, insults, logical arguments, or whatever.
I'll try and answer them the best I can.
I just read the whole thread.
It didn't take that long because much of it was reposting foot long tracts just to write a half inch reply.

The one objection to Christianity I didn't find was the one I think is most common among anti-theists. Viz;
I simply don't want any Higher Authority telling me what I can and can't do.
....so I'm gonna 'strain at gnats' and make a huge list of red herrings and justify my dislike of the God Conclusion
by any and all means possible.
It's the classic two rules of atheism a-la Christopher Hitchens and others.
Rule 1. There's no God.
Rule 2. If there is a God, I hate Him.
They hate the idea of a celestial dictator but the universe is full of celestial dictators - gravity, entropy, radiation, death and taxes.
Atheist counter-apologists go berserk trying to rail against intelligent design theory and the Kalam Cosmological Argument and fine-tuning etc. Why? These aren't arguments for ANY particular religious moral stance let alone a Christian worldview. They are virtually completely SECULAR. And yet the atheist can't stand the prospect that there may be a bigger picture with an intentional Higher Cause having control or power beyond the mundane terrestrial existence of the human atheist.
Very telling indeed when an atheist admits that their atheism doesn't preclude the plausibility of extra-terrestrial higher life forms
...BUT JUST DON'T USE THE "G" WORD.
