"C&E" what's the point?
I don't know about everyone else, but I have a lot of friends who consider themselves a part of this or that sect of Christianity, yet only attend church a few times a year. Along with infrequent attendance of services, these people often deviate from the standard doctrine in relation to sex, alcohol, drugs, profanity, and a myriad of other issues. Clearly, these people are not "living the life" of a true Christian. However, when faced with the idea of atheism or issues of church and state, they will vehemently defend their Christian beliefs. My question is why do these "C&E Christians" care so much about their religion only when controversial issues arise? If the C&Es really believe, why don't they follow these beliefs, or at least TRY more than a couple of days a year? If you really believed in a heaven and hell, why continue with behavior that you know will lead to hell?

Hell, when your're sealed with that stamp of salvation it doesn't matter how you live. Confess jebus and go party! It's living a lie but people want to do what's convenient and, more importantly, fun.
Seriously, it's a joke.

Mabel- C&E is Christmas and Easter. It basically means people who only go to church on major holidays. I think it may be more of a Catholic saying than anything else.
I actually didn't mean to post this yet, so I'm sorry if it just seems like a bunch of rambling, that's exactly what it is at this point!

Why do atheists ask for so much proof to believe in God?
