Okay, let's deal with these so-called contradictions:
The first is saying that it is arrogant to suppose that a creator would care for us. The second is saying that, given what Christians believe about God, he should stop evil.
First one is self-explanatory. Second one, though I've never heard it myself, presumably means that God could save better people than those he does.
First one says that, even if we accept Christianity (which atheists clearly don't), how do you decide which denomination to follow? Second one says that Christians shouldn't follow the teaching of any church or holy book.
Got that?
Good. Nighty night.

Argument A: What makes you think the God of a univrse would care about a little speck like you? Don't be arrogant
Argument B: Why doesn't your God show himself to us and stop evil?

Argument A: Your God is too intolerant
Argument B: Your God saves an awful lot of stupid, arrogant people.

Quote:Contradiction #3
Argument A: Christians are so divided, I can't figure out which denomination is right
Argument B: Christians should think for themselves
First one says that, even if we accept Christianity (which atheists clearly don't), how do you decide which denomination to follow? Second one says that Christians shouldn't follow the teaching of any church or holy book.
