There are usually a couple of things that bother me in discussion like this. The first is the concept of competing religions. Catholics, Baptists, Lutherans, Church of Christ, etc etc each think that their's is the "right" religion. I reject those notions. I believe that following the teachings of Christ and living your life as best you can in accordance with Christian principle is the important thing. I don't believe that the label you attach to your faith really makes any difference.
The second thing that I fail to understand is how some people can continue to be atheist. To be an atheist, you have to accept the theory that somehow a space appeared. That space contained a teeny-tiny little atom, which somehow multiplied and gained density until the mass finally exploded. That explosion then somehow ordered itself into the myriad of worlds and stars in the universe. Somehow, life evolved out of an exploded mass of stuff, which they can't explain, which occupied a space which somehow, also inexplicably, simply appeared and formed galaxies and the universe. To be an atheist, you have to ignore not only common sense, but history as well.
To be an atheist, you have to get up each morning, look at the wonder of your own body, look at the diversity of life and the wonder of our own planet and say "yup, just another explosion". Personally, I have a lot of trouble with that.
