Why?
#1
Why?
Why does an all powerful god only interact with our universe in "mysterious ways"?

Why is he so busy making sure his face appears in burnt toast that people die and suffer?

Why does he think that not worshipping him deserves eternal punishment?

Why did he make satan knowing full well the consequences?

I was arguing with my friend earlier, and he said "Don't test god, the bible says that." I laughed at first, but later I felt kinda bad for him.
It seems, questioning the concept of a god is considered the absolute worst thing anyone can do, it makes it impossible to leave for anyone who has believed most of his/her life. Yet, it is the one thing someone needs to do to come to an understanding.

Ive previously stated that Christians defending the OT god is, ironically, them playing devils advocate. Yet, people defend his allowance of slavery, they defend his command to stone those who work on Saturdays,
And they defend his actions pertaining to Noahs Ark.
Think of all the people you've told any verse that is immoral to them, how many people have actually admitted the verses are immoral? How many have denied they are immoral?

I really want religion to just fade away. Recent events are promising, but sadly, I will never see the effects of religion's fall, my life is just too short.
The negative side effects of religion will last generations onward.

Why can't we just move on?
Why dont we stop commiting so much money to religion, and instead, commit all that money to science and research?
Why are people so dishonest when defending religion?
Why are all arguments for religion unconvincing?
Why wont people question their beliefs?
Why.
