Here is something to get the brain going. It's been said that God created ALL things. Also it's been said that God is 100 precent pure/good. So God created man and it was said that because of man's sinful actions bad/evil things were created. But if God created ALL things then God created bad/evil things, not man. So by God creating bad/evil things this does not make him 100 precent pure/good.
My opinion is that Christianity and other monotheistic religions are dominant in the world today because they originated at a time when humans were mentally, emotionally, and spiritually mature enough to conceive of such a world order that exists today, and technology happened to be advanced enough to auto-catalyze itself enough to reach that goal.
And I suppose Atheism is the next phase of maturity, then?
the fall is how we all became sinful. God had "good" intensions. We had to fall in order for us to learn and overcome the "fallen" man. It makes sense if you read the bible......
The first is because I believe my religion contains more revealed truth.

No, Atheism is simple rationality and the unwillingness to accept something as real without proof,

The entire story that speaks of the fall makes no sense what so ever.

To you, perhaps. I think I've got a pretty good grasp on it. If you'd care to hear?
So what about trust? Do atheists not trust? I mean, there's no way to prove that someone you care about won't hurt you. How do atheists get by? Do you really need proof for everything you experience in life?
It's only perfect like that in the movies, man. While it does happen, it happens infrequently, and there still exists singles, unhappy couples, and ugly divorces. Once again, the concept of chance can explain this phenomena.

Welcome to the battle, comrade. I'm on the atheist side BTW. You don't necessarily have to read all 70 pages, but skimming past the last 5~ pages might help. As for our current debating topics, just look at our quotes/responses. Feel free to ask for help if you need it.

Faith isn't the same though, and whenever I happen to put some in just about anything, it fails me. All that that made me do is become a tad bit pessimistic though, which isn't a bad thing at all.
