You see, this is where I don't get it... I have to be willing to believe? From what is shown in the bible, I wouldn't want such a horrible being to exist... In the same way I wouldn't have wanted someone like Hitler to exist.
And if I did believe in him, I certainly wouldn't worship the fascist.
I could say the same thing about Son Goku... You don't understand just now, but if you are willing to believe in him, then the truth will be revealed to you... Fucking bullshit, missy.
From what is shown in the Bible, what do you mean? The old testament? Do you think that justice can be dealt without the guilty being punished? Are you capable of going to the people that were punished in the Bible and determining if they were innocent? Are you capable of stopping any action that doesn't include yourself, that depends on the judgment of another? It's very unlikely that you personally can stop people from being impacted by the decisions of others or the consequences that people lay on themselves through their actions. Moreover, it's impossible for you to go into the past and right any war or genocide that happened, so since you have no control over those things, is your only response to hate God?

I fixed it for you.

I totally get it.
You totally get it, but you're just not interested, right?
Is there any way that you would be interested? Do you think anything short of a miraculous event could sway you?
