Aside from the smug superiority and massive egos of hard core athiests I don’t understand their attacks on Christianity.

Why would they care if ‘we’ are wrong? If we die and ‘we’ are wrong, then we’re dead. If ‘they’ are wrong we face God and hopefully, get in to heaven. What is to lose and why would they care?

I think that is called Pascal’s Wager, named for the same thought that a French (?) mathematician came up with in the 1600s.

So congratulations, you’re thinking like a famous guy. :)

[[why would they care?]]

Because they can’t stand the idea that there may be a objective universal moral code written on everyone’s heart after all- And since if there is an objective universal moral code, it would imply there is a universal moral code Giver- and so it has become their lifelong endeavor to try to discredit the bible because the bible is the only real source from where an objective universal moral code can come from- If there’s no God, then there is no objective universal moral code- only an arbitrary subjective moral code which is interpreted and applied as seen fit based solely on the desires of the individual- in other words- to each their own, and no one will have the authority to declare the actions of another immoral

In the end, it is an attempt to declare themselves gods- with no need of an objective universal moral code giver
