Well, I'm sorry you strayed away. The questions you are asking are all very good ones, but if you didn't get the right answers, that's why you think Christianity is a load of crap. You were obviously misinformed, which caused you to draw the wrong conclusions about Christianity.

Answer 1: If you are in the wrong religion, then it is up to a Christian to present the gospel to you, since that is our divine commandment from God: "Go forth and make disciples of all nations." If someone doesn't hear the gospel, then it is bad luck that a chance wasn't presented for them to hear it. It's up to Christians to present it at every chance they get, and if they don't then it is their fault.

Answer 2: He is being just in his punishment, first of all. He doesn't want to send us to hell, but Adam and Eve screwed it up for us by sinning. We are therefore born into sin and not perfect; since God demands perfection, we are not permitted to enter heaven. Christ made that possible by dying for us, though.

Second, God left us the Bible, the best-selling book of all time. He's not spiteful because it is our choice as to whether or not we accept Him; we're just being ignorant. Again, those who don't hear the Good News are victims of misfortune or Christians not sharing the Good News when they get the chance.

Answer 3: You apparently didn't grasp my first response. God hasn't DETERMINED what we will do; He simply KNOWS what we will do. We make our choices, but He knows what choices we will make and how they will play out.

Answer 4: Support your claim-give me an example of when it is blatantly wrong. God's Word came from Him, and He is perfect, therefore His Word is perfect and true.

Answer 5: Again, support your claim-give an example of something that has been removed or changed in MEANING-not WORDING, mind you.

Answer 6: It wasn't the fact that is was the tree of knowledge, but the fact that they disobeyed God that caused them to be punished.

Answer 7: Again, the Bible is God's Word, which was written by men INSPIRED by God, therefore making it perfect and true. I base my life around Christianity because I have faith.

"Prove to me that it ISN'T true" is part of my proof. I have asked mutiple people like you to prove that the Bible and Christianity are false and I have yet to find someone who can actually provide an answer. Some have given shallow arguments like the ones you have, but there is the whole issue of evidence. Your arguments are all based on logic, and human logic is flawed. My arguments have 66 books of Scripture to back them up.
