If you reject Creation as being an important tenet of Christianity, you reject the idea that man is a creature of God. If you reject that man is a creature of God, you reject that man has any moral obligations to God and to anyone. If you reject that man has any moral obligations to God and to anyone, you reject that man can sin, and if you reject that man can sin, you reject the necessity fo a Redeemer. If you reject the necessity of a Redeemer, you reject Christ's atoning work. If you reject Christ's atoning work you reject God

If you reject Evolution, you reject a logical conclusion based on observable evidence. If you reject logical conjecture, you reject science. If you reject science, well fuck. I don't know. You get to fly or something.
Remove the "and to anyone" in two instances, and you have a well-presented argument.
Note: Rejection is antithetical to circular logic; it tends to break the chain at every step.
Yup, that's what I'm doing.
And your point is what, exactly ?
"If you reject Creation as being an important tenet of Christianity, you reject the idea that man is a creature of God." tl;dr...
The shitloads of evidence to prove Evolution*. The Large Hadron Collider.
'God' and 'Jesus' don't exist.
Next question.

Yes, that's right little Raptard: a decision made by a Christian Conservative , personally appointed by your God Emperor of Fucking Up, George Dumyba Bush, voted in by you of the Religious Right - twice, no less. The irony is exquisitely sweet.
Evolution is fact . Crationism - and therefore the Bible as a whole - is lies . The law says so - and it's all your fault (PROTIP: Romans 13:1-5).
Deal with it.
You fundies have proved that you're wrong, and we Atheists are right. Deal with it II.

If all that, they reject YOUR god. But the point is moot, since I do reject belief in any god. However, objective morality is entirely independent of the existence of god - there's no contradiction in being an atheistic moral universalist or a theistic nihilist. Indeed, a great many fundamentalists seem to reason that without God there would be no moral standard, which amounts to saying that God's merely the ultimate "because I said so".
Morality? Like in the old testament? Quite a guide for morality. Stone unruly kids, kill those that work on the sabbath, force victims to marry their rapists...If that's the kind of morality you're talking about, I certainly reject it.
And given that biblical morality, no surprise why most in prisons are theists.
