With all the bad shit this selective deadbeat doesn't stop, like childhood death from disease and famine and war worldwide, you'd think if such an all powerful god existed, it would be better PR for this deity to reduce it or never have it happen in the first place. But who cares right, he certainly should care more about your personal success than say, some starving kid.What I don't get is if "god blessed" someone with great success, why wouldn't god want you to share your wealth and help those less fortunate? Isn't that what Jesus was all about? Giving away your money to help others? If you have the means and don't help, you're not just a bad Christian, you're an awful person.

Yes, you must first break their spirit and their natural tendency to think critically. As the years go by they turn into obediant, unthinking sheep. You will be assimilated.

You wrong I always taught my kids to think for themselves, when they find the answers about God for themselves they do not bolt and run.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

You really think you teach your kids to think for themselves by taking them to church the entire time they're growing up? Yeah, put a little kid in a room every week for years and years where all the adults are talking and praising a god. That's a sure fire way to stimulate critical thinking skills and independent thought.
