Well, you're wrong, alpha_male. The correct view is that this whole world was created just last week (on Thursday, March 8, 2018).

Yeah, you are nothing but a Boltzmann Brain with a body that just happens to be containing you, and a surrounding that just happens to be around you, and memories that just happen to be there. You are special, dude. And don't you ever forget that.

You seem to take yourself a little too seriously. It doesn't sound comfortable

So... is God testing us to see if we will ignore all the evidence around us, in favour of whatever stories we happened to be told as a child? That seems very strange. Why does he want to spend his time with these people, and not those that come to their own conclusions?
If that's all he wants, he could have just created a load of people around him that are programmed to believe anything he tells them without question, and bypass this whole ludicrous theatre.

People who really don't care about something don't need to go and start threads like:

Um...Khemikal didn't start that thread. Just sayin'. And I am so over theists acting gobsmacked that atheists would argue about something when the world is full of humans will talk about and argue over just about anything, including things they couldn't give less of a fuck about when it comes down to it. It's weak sauce weak shit.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.

"You do too care, you do too!"
Lolnope.
I can accept that you do, that sin weighs on your mind and you live in guilt....that your panties would be hopelessly wrinkled up if you were me in all ways but the status of your belief in pixies and spirit blemishes. Because you experience it, you imagine that others do as well..and I can understand why you would think that. My panties, however, are doing just fine..despite whatever yours would be doing in my shoes.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

He may be testing us, but if so, it's likely a test of our hubris - thinking we know much more than we do. The answer is probably much cooler than the things we come up with.

Um...Khemikal said "we," which opens it up to others. Just sayin'.

I've never felt the need to try to refute the significance of sins under Islam, or any other religion or belief system. Just sayin'.

I am not a yec. My proposition is that at some point during human evolution from apes, our brains developed just enough for moral free will (ie, moral responsibility/culpability).
I accept Adam and Eve having been real people, as very early humans with moral responsibility for wrong doings. But obviously I don't believe in the literal story, where there was a paradise garden with a snake and a forbidden apple.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

Who did Adam and Eve get their morals from?
