Honestly, no Christian has ever been able to explain this to me*, and I've read a LOT of apologetics.

Maybe this is implied:

* 'to my satisfaction.'

Atheism has a lot to do with the inability to accept anything beyond one's intellect. In essense, their intellect is their god.

All Christians must accept many things on faith that "do not make sense":
- The Trinity.
- Why did our Lord have to die for our sins, couldn't He have simply forgiven them?

Of course all of us "struggle" with our faith, because we are imperfect, but we do not abandon our faith simply because it does not meet our finite intellectual abilities.
