Chad32,

How do you think Christians can love their enemies, become better people and people grow up/become better people by learning how to protect other people around them if god intervenes every time something evil happens ?

You may think of it as intervention through non-intervention.

The same way everyone else does it. People like to compare him to a parent. A parent's job is to protect and raise their child, so they can one day become independent of the parent. If you care about someone, you will protect them to the best of their abilities. Especially from things that are not the direct result of their own choices. Instead, your god allows whatever happens to happen, and it's a sin to make an effort to become an independent person.

None of that is actually true.
1. Loving one's enemies is not a virtue. It just let's your enemies know they can do whatever and you won't retaliate. This encourages violence.
2. Christians don't become better people by virtue of being Christians any more than atheist become better people by being atheists.
3. There is absolutely no evidence that god intervenes to prevent evil. But Christians close their eyes to evil and call it good in order to excuse god's in action.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

I may defend your right to free speech, but i won't help you pass out flyers.

Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.
