So giving us no proof of his existance, contradictory rules, conflicted minds, and constantly testing our sanity is what God does to show his love for us ?
Um...no thanks. I'd rather have Buddha's Love 🙂

As opposed to complete neglect, which is very loving.

Or is that what you are told...as a simple rationalization to explain why prayers are not directyl answered.

A will that you can't freely use, because you can go to Hell for using it "the wrong way"
There's no point is having it....

Often we have desires that would end up being self-destructive. Would it be loving to allow a child to inject himself with heroin because he wanted to? Would it be loving to give a suicidal person a gun with which he could shoot himself?
Would it be self destructive to have food ? I'm sure many of those who starve in Africa and other nations pray for food and shelter that they'll never get.....maybe God doesn't wanna spoil them. 🙄
Is it self destructive for God to grant us :
1) Happiness
2) Unity
3) Peace ?
4) Good Health, etc.etc.etc.etc.etc.etc.etc.etc.etc. ?????
Cuz tons of people pray for that everyday, and NEVER get it....

Don't push it. Why AIDS? War? Hate? Racist bigots?
Your flimsy philosophy does not explain these.

Those bad things are the results of our own evils. And simply because one has a will doesn't mean that there aren't consequences for one's actions. You have the will to choose between believing God or not believing Him. To follow or not to follow. To choose life or choose death.
So the people who starve and suffer from AIDS in Africa do so because of thier own evils ?
The Jews suffered in the Holocaust because of thier own evils ?
🙄 Typical Christian bullshit excuse....save it

Dude....I dont mean to generalize. I apologize if you think I intend to insult all Christians...my family is Christian so are my freinds and I love them very much ✅
However, Feceman's sentiments are extremely ignorant, hateful, and typically Conservative Christian like (well Ultra right winger)
Go back....read what he wrote about the Jews and Africans suffering due to thier own evils...and come back to me after that. 😉

I know, I know, so instead call him an idiot or a Bible Christian.

Honestly...if you can't joke about your faith, or put it down...you shouldn't post here.
Nothing is beyond irreverance...including faith.
Insults get thrown around here...its not going to stop, because it hasn't for millenia.

First, not my faith. Raised as Baptist/Catholic, decided to make my own beliefs after reading the bible.
True, I'm just a pansy who takes this too personally.
Yup.
