I am not a Christian because it's bullshit, demonstrably so: no Adam and Eve, no original fall, no need for a redeemer, no need for Jesus Christ. It's that simple.
Calling the cause of the Big Bang 'god' (deist notion of god) because one is uncomfortable suspending judgement until more is known is one thing and not necessarily irrational; imbuing the same with any number of fantasized characteristics because ancient stories said so and accepting this as fact without justification is irrational. People can believe anything they wish; however, this says nothing of the justification or validity of the beliefs. All these supposed arguments for god are nothing more than a charade attempting to give credibility to unjustified belief and are strangely only convincing to those who already believe for other reasons.
