I believe that God is omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent and omnibenevolent but I don't think I believe he's any of those things in any sort of sense that any Christian would accept.

God does whatever he wants which is whatever is metaphysically possible. It may be the case that this world is mostly suffering but that doesn't mean that reality as a whole is. The amount of suffering on this one planet is tiny compared to the rest of God's well-being. We're cosmically unimportant to him.
Quote: If there really is God and Satan doing battle in a war of good and evil why is Satan winning?
If Satan exists he's just part of God too.
And such a Satan may be 'winning' on this planet but overall he isn't winning if this planet is cosmically unimportant and insignificant to God.
All the pain and suffering on this planet is, to God, just like an itch that he wants to scratch. Ever had an itch that is really satisfying to scratch? That's what the suffering on this planet is like to God.

Sounds like you had him over for tea. It's a good thing that you're here to tell us what things are like to your god.
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!

Still yanking your dick over the thought of a race war.
Lemme ask you a question. In a country that's 13.4% african american, and 76.5% white, what do you expect the racial demographics of a protest to be? How about a city that's 7% black? Do you have a problem with buses, or something else?
I think that I'd have lost my shit laughing over your take if we were around having this convo back in '61.

Well I for one think the CHAZ is pretty rad. Most of the negative coverage has been entirely fabricated or exaggerated to fit a narrative. According to people who, you know... are actually there...
