In the end, humans choose evil. Most people don’t want to be a robot. So there is free will, free to choose. But when they could use free-will to do good they choose and do evil.
There are hospitals trying their best to help with that, and you have people bombing hospitals for babies with cancer.
Animals eat animals. Isn’t that evil? By that entire life is cruel, and I don’t get why a god should have to take blame for it. It just seems to push away responsibility of doing good vs evil.
Those people bombing hospitals are also evil. Stopping them from bombing hospitals wont stop babies from getting cancer. There can be (and are) multiple evil things and beings in life.
You seem to have forgotten the context of the comment chain. The grandparent comment of your comment that I replied to said that if Christ returned, the commenter would instantly convert. Christ returning would strongly imply that Christianity is correct. In Christianity, God is all knowing (omniscient) and all powerful (omnipotent). Being such a powerful god, if He doesn’t stop babies from getting cancer in the first place, He is either evil or impotent.
Because I don’t wanna be a grumpy redditor with fingers covered in cheeto dust, jacking off to James Randi and Richard Dawkins arguing over who thinks the Bible is faker and gayer, with no magic to console me about the cruelty of the world, no afterlife to look forward to, stuck with the knowledge that this is all there is ever going to be.
I mean, I don’t want to disbelieve in miracles and mystery, but we live in a society laugh track where God cannot be found. Everyone with magic gets debunked, every study that confirms a supernatural power seems to get slapped with accusations of fraud and “The File Drawer Effect”, and the evidence continues to pile up for a Materialistic view of the universe where nothing is immaterial and everything is ultimately matter or springs up from it…
I don’t want to be an Atheist, but if God’s here I can’t find him.
careful what you wish for. year’s not over…
If Christ returned, I’d be an instant convert
I’d personally want to kill them for creating such evil and suffering in the world.

Babies get cancer. That’s not humans choosing evil. If there is a god that created a baby just to get cancer and die before age 3, that god is evil.

Sounds like agnosticism to me 🤝🤝
But would you mind if it turned out to be a immensely powerful alien disguised as a guy from our own past ?
At least, that seems more likely to me…
If Batman appeared I would also immediately start believing in him.
That doesn’t make me Batman-agnostic though.
Most atheists fall under the agnostic atheist banner
I really really do not want to be an atheist. But where is God?
Why?
what do you mean?

if that’s your idea of an atheist then i don’t want to imagine what you think muslims are like 😂
tbh most people in australia are atheists but have nothing to do with reddit
god etc just doesn’t come up
This is all? We live in a wonderland compared to even 100 years ago
As long as he’s capable of saving my soul…
As long as I have a soul…
After all, science distinguishable from magic is merely insufficiently advanced
