Why are we here?

[KevinM1]

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.

The doctrine has been 'hashed out' primarily by people already believing in it.  The length of time it's been examined doesn't really mean anything if it's primarily based on baseless assertion.  That it is still up for debate after all this time really only highlights how spurious its claims really are.  If there were even a nugget of truth in them, one would think that Christianity would be gaining acceptance in the world rather than steadily losing it.  Instead, its only gains are in places with poor education, like Africa.  Why do you suppose that is?

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.

It's a distinction without meaning, really.  According to most, I'm going to go to hell for simply not believing.  Does it really matter if your god sends me there directly or if it's part of some automated process based on me not entering a covenant with it?  The method is the same: unbelief = hell.  Moreover, it's based on pettiness.  

What does a supreme being need with worship?  Christians espouse god's forgiving and loving nature all the time, but at the end of the day salvation relies on not just belief that it exists (despite it not providing clear, verifiable evidence of itself), but that I accept it as my lord and master.  I cannot do that, even under threat of torment.  I would rather be free in hell than a slave in heaven.

Let's get back to sin for a moment.  You made a big stink (capital letters and everything) a few posts up about my sins.  I jokingly asked you to list them.  I'll simply do it for you:

1. Not believing in your god
2. I stole a couple of beef chalupa supremes from the UNH food court over a decade ago because I was running late for class

That is, honestly, all I can think of.  I never cheated on my girlfriend.  I abhor violence, except in self-defense.  I haven't made nor possess idols of anything.  I don't drink, smoke, or do drugs.  Do I deserve to be tortured, even temporarily?

Note also that I think Original Sin is idiotic and barbarous.  Children should not be held to account for the crimes of their ancestors.
