    What I don’t get about this sort of preaching is that it highlights a major issue with the Christian faith. If their god is truly good and loves everyone equally, why is he so selective with his miracles? Why wait until the preacher is attacked to cure the child’s blindness? Why allow the preacher to be harmed at all? Why even need preachers if you’re so powerful? You could just show everyone you exist, and fix their worst problems while you’re at it.

    Maybe their god wants us to live without his direct intervention, which I can respect. However, why would we see ANY miracles then? He seems quite petty.

    I’m not even an atheist. I have spiritual beliefs. But these half-assed attempts at spreading their faith just come across as desperate and manipulative.

        “why did you kill my family, drive away my flock, make my friends hate me, and riddle me with disease?”

        “To win a bet. Also don’t fucking talk back to me you little shit!”

    They forgot the “And then everyone clapped!” Didn’t happen unless everyone clapped afterwards! Amateurs!

    More likely, this old dude was grabbing underage ass on a train, and someone nailed him with a heavy buckled purse, then someone said “thank god”.
