I think the reasoning behind son's apology is different. If he apologised just to his sister, do you think he is really remorseful and never ever going to do it again? Just saying sorry doesn't mean that he is sorry for pushing a woman. Asking forgiveness from God involves processing the act and consequences inside your mind and changing your mind.

To OP: you are viewing all religions the same way (I assuming this was your quote: "What if you're wrong and the "right answer" is Islam and Jesus was just a man? Not trolling but just asking the same question of me to you."?). If you do a research, you will easily separate human created religion from the God, it is no brainer.

I also have a question for you since you said that bad things just happens. Have you not seen any connection why the bad things are happen? I know it is hard to see the connection when bad things happens to people we don't know -- like the plane crashed into the house, or the mention burned with 4 young children. But if you look at the lives of the people you know very well (or your own life) -- do you just ignore the connection or you cannot make the logical connection?

non-OP atheist here -- what is the logical connection you think is being ignored?[/quote]

It is quit simple. God always gives you a choice in life, however there are consequences to every choice. At any given moment you making your choice, the consequences will come (either good or bad). So, given choices A or B, you will receive consequences C or D, with A-C or B-D (no brainer).  If the consequence D is bad thing, you just say bad things just happen, right? You just don't go years back to the event B to connect it.

Non-OP atheist again -- It depends on the bad thing.  If a smoker gets lung cancer, then yes, I can connect it.  If someone cheats on an exam, gets expelled from school, has trouble getting a job without a degree, and loses their house, I can connect it all the way back.  But some bad things happen for no reason -- a friend of mine (the most devout Christian I know, actually) lost a young child to cancer.  My stepmother was in a car accident (she was the pedestrian, car blew through the crosswalk) that's taken her a long time to recover from.

So, some bad things are the result of your own choices.  Others just happen.[/quote]
