Everything depends on how you look at it. Yes, I agree that none of us will win or lose. For the main reason that you can't put your emotion into a post (Smiley's don't count), that is why none of us will win or lose. But I don't agree that this argument has no point. Because you don't think it has a point, doesn't mean there isn't one there.
One big point that I see when religious discussions are made is to see how open minded people are. If somebody doesn't believe in god, I want to see if they are able to open their mind to understand why we believe in God. And if you do believe in God, I want to see if that person can actually see a world without a God.
Ontop of that, you also learn a lot about a person from their beliefs. Believe in God or don't. No matter which one, the desicions that are made in your life are done by beliefs that you hold.

I'm going to agree with what Crash, Joeiss, and Canyarion has said, but I'm going to expand on what Crash wrote.
Typhoid, it's good that you are questioning things that are happening around the world, even the things we don't want to see. But I think you are going about it in the wrong way, and please don't take offense to this. How much have you looked into your questions? Have you tried to answer them yourself, or with somebody else? That is what free will is all about. Even though you don't believe in God, I believe he let you make that choice. He even gave you the choice to question him.
One last thing, don't ask questions that you might not like the answers to. Remember, just keep an open mind... if you chose to get the answers to the questions that you asked.
