Do Tell
the assumptions that I was refering to when it comes to christianity are a few....
1. There is a god
2. He created the world and life on it and is involved in it
3. Jesus was his son and he was crucified.
4. everything in the bible is true (now I know that one may be different with you because the catholic church has said that some parts of the bible should be ignored and maybe you can outline that later)
5. that there is a heaven and hell
6. that prophacy (in the bible) has yet to happen

there are others but there are some good one that christianity assumes.

I realize that this was not addressed to me but if I may...

The Christian only assumes (read - presupposes) 2 things, that God exists, and that the Bible is His word. The rest are contained in His word.

The atheist assumes MANY things.
1. Matter from non-matter
2. Sentient matter from non-sentient matter
3. Intelligent matter from non-intelligent matter
3. Moral matter from non-moral matter
4. Universal, abstract, invariant laws exist (from randomness)
5. Nature is uniform (in a 'random' universe)
6. Human reasoning is valid on its own.

I could go on and on, but I hope you get the point.

Cheers,

Sye
