WOTME: Rube Goldberg
Whoops!!! One more. Glad I double checked!
If you know what a Rube Goldberg machine is, then you know everything you need to know about religion. Except, Rube Goldberg machines actually accomplish their stated goal. Religions do not. They just make everything so convoluted, you don't realize that the whole damn thing is a mess. It's kinda genius.
Thanks again, you wonderful people! Enjoy! And now I'm going to breath slowly and deeply, realizing that I just dodged a bullet! B

Nonsensical is the only way to describe religious belief. As I've said before, consider the fundamental doctrine of Christianity: that Jesus has "redeemed" us by paying for our "sins." Hold on… I have chalked up mistakes in life that I need to "pay" for? Well… what kind of selfish asshole would let someone ELSE pay for personal debts? I mean, if I am in "debt" for something, no way I'd pawn it off on my "brother" so I could get off scot-free. Sounds to me like, to be "Christ-like," you have to reject Christ's "sacrifice." To do otherwise would be a blatant contradiction of "doing unto others."
That’s really good!!!
Yep! Spot on. I just point to my daughter, the best person I have ever known, who literally won’t hurt a fly. Just make everyone like her, Mr. Almighty! You fucking moron!!!
The "Free Will Defense" for the Problem of Evil has always been bogus. An all-powerful god could have given us free will without the Will to Do Evil. We could be free to choose vanilla over chocolate, Ford over Chevy, Chiefs over Buccaneers, whatever, just without the will to do Evil. I suspect that you, as I, do not possess the will to do evil. Do you miss it? Do you feel your life incomplete? Hmm, me neither. Bogus arguments seem to be in the wheelhouse of Christianity. Do anything, say anything whether it makes sense or not and you can be the next Jordan Petersen, or Willian L. Craig (all three names is a bit pretentious, no?). This is one of the more stupid arguments . . . all to absolve "God" from being the source of evil, which He freely admits in the book of Isaiah. But, don't look at those silly old scriptures, look at my cool argument, instead. Yeah, not intellectuals . . . right. Uh, how does Dr. Petersen make his living? University professor? Hmm. Not an intellectual you say? Could he be even more upset. His anti-anxiety drug addiction seems to have been fueled by his fear of being exposed as being an intellectual fraud.
