Never mind the biblical bit where god says he creates evil, you’ll never convince the religious with facts and logic. They’ve got to feel it or realize it themselves.
The ancients had more sense: at least a capricious, emotional God similar to humans (like the ancient Greek gods) that does everything including create evil and allows the torturing of people on a bet at the high council reconciles better with nature.
My, what a benevolent god is god to bet with the life of his most loyal worshiper. A bet he looses… against Satan? And then god goes down and brags about his achievements to cow his tortured worshiper?
That actually fits with the days of Olympus quite well actually.
Also everything he lost is treated indistinguishably from property - e.g. he dismissss his wife to sleep with other men, he’s made whole by being given more children (probably with some other woman/en), as if having more children would replace the children you lost - it’s an insane piece of text.
Also, slaves, I mean servants are all virtually identical, right? Not like you can get attached to people who are just servants.
And god’s divine plan for all of those people goes out the door as soon as Satan is like, “Is this one person really faithful though? If I take all the things you granted him, will he still love you?”
But a good representation if god existed, we’d all be toys. God would’ve planned all this from the start with his omnipotence when he set all the pieces in motion like an enormous rube goldberg mess to torture people for no reason. Create evil indeed.
Should this not raise red flags? Why is your church pro-vaccine and others anti-vaccine?
Who’s right and who’s wrong? But then again Im an atheist who questioned god long before Santa Claus, because atleast the jolly old fuck did something for me.
Plot twist: God sent the scientists to make the bionic arm
God also removed the arm of the child though
That was Satan.
So God, through Satan.

Ouch. Job was a trip and a half.

Exactly.

He’s with all of his children now. Lol.
Whap 'em upside the head with the relevant page of the Bible.

Yeah, I grew up in a Christian background and still am. Never heard of anyone advocating the denial of medicine IRL.
You never hear anyone prattling on about the Covid vaccine being poison? My Jesus fan relatives can’t talk about anything else
True, but every medical achievement is heralded as god’s divine will. “Thank god for sending the doctor.” I’d rather just thank the doctor, really.
Here’s a fun one…the relative with an Rx pad is the same one preaching gods love.
Thank the…other docs who don’t push horse pills I guess? The propaganda is real
Nope. We even thanked God for it during various services.

How would this be a red flag, exactly?
You never heard of Christian Science?
Only from a Knowing Better video I watched a while back. Can’t recall much about it except from it seeming to be a heretical cult spinoff
