Christianity Is Vile to Atheists
The biggest divide between Christians and atheists is not their views about God's existence, but their beliefs about His character.
God Is a Person, We Are Persons
An ant could never understand anything about us, so why would we think we could understand something about God?
Why Would God Want Us to Praise Him?
God isn't just an egomaniac. Our praise is right, good, and joy-giving.

If the God of the Bible didn’t do what you think a real God would have done, that doesn’t prove He doesn’t exist; you might just be missing something.

There are some who claim that the early Christians believed Jesus was resurrected spiritually after His death, not physically. But two passages in Acts speak strongly against this idea. (These are by no means the only reasons to think Jesus' resurrection was physical, but I rarely hear these passages pointed out in connection with this subject, and they're worth noting.)
Did Jesus Really Exist?
We have good, historical reasons to think Jesus was not just a legendary character.
