If the World were just the United States, I might, Thump. But that is US specific data only.

A gods lack of omnipotence isn't even the concerning bit in the busted soul forge scenario, imo.

The world exists to improve us by fire - but then it didn't work, and we can only be improved by stringing up a jew? Who would want any of this to be true?

See this for the Worldwide Data: https://research.lifeway.com/2022/01/31/...y-in-2022/

Quote:"While the number of all religious people is growing at a 1.27% rate, the growth rate of nonreligionists is less than half that—0.52%, well below the total population growth percentage. In particular, the number of atheists is almost stagnant, only growing 0.18% per year.

There are fewer atheists around the world today (147 million) than in 1970 (165 million), according to the 2022 Status of Global Christianity report.CLICK TO TWEET

You respond to observations that your logic is fallacious with a direct appeal to yet another fallacy. We've got a case of fractal wrongness on our hands, it seems.

Noe, I responded to a "read it and weep kiddo" message shared by Thump based on US Data only with World Wide Data.

You read it and weep, Atheists. The Future looks Great for Christianity. We are going to Cross 3 BN Souls soon, almost certainly by 2033. We're also working more closely together than ever before in the past as we race to save eternal souls before time runs out forever. And Great Wonders are Happening, as they did in the Beginning of Christianity.

Will address the other objections shortly. It's not a case that God "needs" evil; it's that meriting High Eternal Rewards sometimes requires suffering.

Jesus Christ Himself chose that Path, on the Cross, as did Mother Mary at the Foot of the Cross, as did the Apostles, the First Martyrs, and many others. Now they are all Saints shining in Eternal Glory in Heaven forever and ever. Jesus and Mary as the King and Queen of the Saints, the Apostles as normal Saints.

Nishant Xavier:

Do you acknowledge that God cannot provide you with eternal happiness?

Who needs high eternal reward? I have super giga mega reward, right here on earth - and not a single jew gets harmed.

You might aspire to be a saint - that's a life goal...I hope I never fall so low as a catholic saint - and you might have that life goal because you think there's a punch and pie party in the sky. I don't want to go to that party either - it's gonna be full of christians and I'm already up to my eyeballs in them here in life...so?

Yesterday it was "all those godless chinese commies" and today its "only 140mio atheists".
Aside from that: Lifeway is operated by the Southern Baptist Church. They are heretics to you, and you are a heretic to them. But hey, they are good enough to BS some Militant commie Atheists with, right?
And yeah, its sooooooo sure they wont publish...........optimistic data, will they?

Your lying is more blatant than ever.
