Looking For Another Christian (please ignore if you are not a believer.
RE: Looking For Another Christian (please ignore if you are not a believer.
Unwilling to prevent/minimise 'evil' then. Your god is malevolent.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Did the dead baby choose sin and rebellion too?

Mankind has and only one grew up not in sin and rebellion towards God.

Towards a god which has declared war on the entire human species (at least in your interpretation). Let's not forget that.

No, His Will was for us to be obedient. We chose this mess. He is already working and has been working towards correcting it.

Hahahahaha.

Lol.


He's 'working on it'. Riiiight. Fucking great job he's doing. This omnipotent, all powerful being that can do anything it wants still can't solve such a simple problem. Quite obviously he's incompetent.

So....not a question you're willing to consider, is it? Maybe there's hope for you after all. Has it ever occurred to you that rebellion would be the appropriate response towards the god you describe? If a human being did, or even attempted to do, the things you accuse god of having done/having planned/doing at a later date......what would you think about that human being? If we had a presidential candidate that ran on the platform of armageddon - and advocated the wholesale slaughter of anyone not aligned to his political party - would he/she get your vote? If that candidate won.........would you haul ass to the local party hq and sign up?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

-No, His Will was for us to be obedient.
Then why did He make us with the capacity to disobey Him? Some sort of weird test? Nah.

No, He is giving people time to repent.

if one doesn't have a will, how can love be a choice?

Your god is working on it?

Seriously? That's the best explanation you can think of for why killing and suffering happens without some kind of intervention? Because I can think of a far simpler one.
