Why is it so essential to have an explanation for either of these things? No one has an explanation for why an all-powerful figure would take the trouble to create a set of commandments for humans to live by on this planet, or why there's a heaven and hell, let alone IF there's a heaven or hell. Theists believe in these things based on faith. Atheists also have faith in what they believe, but, honestly, I find the question "what do I do while I'm here" more important than "why am I here."
It is generally my experience that Atheists are among the more charitable people I have to deal with in my day to day life. I disagree with atheism simply because it fails to explain how this complicated universe and conscience of man came to be.
"Endless howling of demons and ear piercing shreiks of the damned who suffer endless agony from flames that burn, but do not comsume the flesh. This is interspersed with moments of absolute bitter cold where the flesh fails to go numb as it's tormented with needles of pain as the fully awakened soul mourns the loss of eternal separation from God. The loneliness of Hell is said to be unbearable." I'M NOT TAKING ANY CHANCES! ;)
There are more gays in this country because homosexuality has lost it's stigma and in some circles has even become "hip". Man & Women must work hard to form a loving mature relationship and family can be complicated. This leads more young people to "try" the homosexual lifestyle out. The acceptability of any act in a society leads to an increase of it. Thirty years from now, homosexuals will probably make up half of our society because of this.

SO.... WHAT IF THE CHRISTIANS ARE RIGHT?
