Atheists like to claim intellectual superiority, yet when attempting to make an argument against Christianity, they always fall short. While claiming to be the pinnacle of learned men, they lose all sense of logic, context, reading comprehension, and deductive reasoning when they erroneously create arguments in opposition to Christianity. If you want to reject God, so be it, but at least do it on the basis of what the bible actually teaches and not what you read on the internet.
Read, study, understand. Leave your pride and arrogance at the door. Context is a thing and its wonderful.
Edit: Let's keep this going, guys! And thank you to all the wonderful people who stopped by and proved my point.

Religion is created by man. In the past people created gods or deities to explain what they could not. The Greeks couldn't explain storms or volcanoes or how the seasons changed so they attributed these occurrences as abilities to gods. In other words they created gods to fill their void in knowledge. As time moves forward man as a whole learned more and more, so slowly polytheism was no longer needed as there was less of a void to fill. Thus monotheism spread to replace polytheism. Now we come to the present. People are afraid of a void in knowledge, so they create or join a religion because they need something to believe in to stop their fear from consuming them. Since humans first live we have died, death is one of humanities greatest fears as it is unknown what happens. This is why almost every religion has some sort of explanation such as, Elisium, Valhalla, and Heaven. More and more people are leaving religion, due to a high understanding, and as for death, more and more people simply except it as part of life. Thus, religion is no longer needed to fill the void.
