Why are we here?

[SteveII]

You're right.  It falls under the weight of its own self-contradictions, illogical nonsense, and weak assertions with no credible evidence to back them up.

Merely saying, "No, you obviously don't understand" isn't much of a rebuttal, even with its veiled insult.  And so far, that's all you have.  "No, you," and "Wait until daddy comes home!  Then you'll be sorry!" posts for as far as the eye can see.  Even Drich attempts, in his failed floundering, to bring more to the table.  At least he sometimes tries to dive deeper than finger waggling and special pleading.

Also, keep in mind, like many here, I was raised in a Christian household.  Catholic, to be precise.  I'm not completely unaware to what the foundation of the religion is.  It's just that I wised up and saw it for the tangled mess of borrowed myths, utter nonsense, and repackaged common sense it actually is.

But, yes, I love how just about every Christian, when faced with someone who doesn't simply swallow their BS, goes for weak jabs like you did.  "Pshaw pshaw, for someone who claims they're so smart, you obviously have no clue.  Hahaha."  As though that actually refutes anything I or anyone else actually said.  Maybe that kind of misplaced smug condescension works among the people you surround yourself with, but it doesn't work on me.  All it does is reinforce how much of a textbook case of Dunning-Kruger you actually are.  GC pulls the same crap and it works just as poorly.  It's a tactic that relies on public shaming and peer pressure, and in the face of religion, I feel neither.  Try again.

If you have some deep, meaningful knowledge or wisdom you think will change my mind, by all means, share it.  I'm open to any possibility.  But it needs to stand up to scrutiny.

Your perception is that Christianity is a house of cards and all you have to do is poke at a few of them and it all comes crashing down. You are wrong. If God exists, it is not a house of cards. Rather a well-defined system of doctrines that do not contradict each other--doctrines that have been hashed out for 2 millennium now. I don't know if your understanding of this system is so poor that you think it is weak or you are so sure God does not exist that it is all for naught. 

I was trying to address one of these doctrines regarding hell and punishment and that God does not send people to hell. That is lost on you because you don't want to make such doctrinal distinctions when you are clearly comfortable with your one-liners. Because if you and many of your buddies here stick to mocking one-line arguments, it makes you feel superior to the poor stupid Christians.  

A point of clarification, I will always be arguing from a Protestant point of view. I am not well-versed in the intricacies of Catholic doctrine.
