Sure:
1 - They said christians are evil because of the cruzades.
I answered that the cruzades were not caused by the Lord God or the Lord Jesus, and the Lord was not responsable for the wrong things people do in His name. People use scape goats for their evil acts since the Garden of Eve, even Adam blamed the snake for his disobedience.
2- They said that God did not exist because there is evil in the world.
I answered that , by this same logic I can say God DOES exist because there is also GOOD in the world. I also said christianity believes in the original sin and in a fallen world that is no longer abbiding by the Law of God, but that the individual link is restored in part when one believes in the Lord Jesus Christ and becomes born again. I also said that christians believe that the evil part of man would only fade away after the death and ressurrection in Jesus.
3 - They said God is evil because he hates homossexuals.
I answered that all sin is bad, and homossexuality is no worst than envy, anger, lies, murder... The Lord loves and is willing to forgive everyone, specially homossexuals. I also said that being attracted to the same sex may not be a choice, but the same goes to many things we feel, like lust. The thing is to realize we are not good and we NEED a saviour to pay for our evil.
They made like more than ten questions like that.

You don't equate homosexuality with murder, I hope.

I've talked to a person who says that in the eyes of God, sin is sin no matter what kind it is. As long as it's against His will, it's sin and that's all there is to it. Sadly, it also seems like the logical conclusion according to my knowledge of Christianity and the Bible. It does make sense if you look at it from a certain angle (a crime is a crime).
Disclaimer: I don't know what to believe in. Science still leaves enough room for God to exist, but there's also no scientific evidence supporting God. I'm happy enough with recognizing the situation and not making up my mind because it doesn't really matter right now. I'd rather give God the benefit of doubt than outright deny His existence.
