    Put some money in the collection plate and maybe little Timmy won’t find his way into an early grave?

      Suffering is a virtue, therefore it’s virtuous to make children suffer.

      What a saint that woman was.

          It’s amazing how many people don’t know the details here…

            In those moments when it seems likely that Christian God very much exists, and is a vengeful and micromanaging hide-and-seek champion Who allows children to have cancer, and with Whom I’d be in a clearly abusive relationship, He, too, appears to be a sadistic con artist of the nepobaby, MLM-upline variety.

              If he truly existed and were evil, the world would be even worse than it is. Regular old human cruelty and greed, along with random chance, is more than enough to explain how it is.

    Gnostics did some pretty crazy jumps to deal with the problem of evil. They eventually decided that the old testament God was actually the devil that Jesus was trying to save them from. A creator God that trapped souls in the hell scape of reality.

      I’ve often joked that Jesus didn’t redeem humans in the eyes of God, he redeemed the Hebrew god in the eyes of western culture.

          If you have it there constantly ready to go, you’d be surprised how often you can weave it into a conversation.

    “God never gives you more than you can handle.”

    I know people who have been driven batsh*t insane by what God has given them.

      Pretty sure every single person who has ever died was given more than they could handle.

    Whenever someone tries to proselytise you, just tell them why would a benevolent god test you by killing your family member who hasn’t done anything wrong? A friend of mine, whose father passed away from cancer when my friend was nine years old, said this to a Mormon missionary. And the missionary was stumped to this questioning.

    Kinda crazy, huh? I mean we’ve got chit like Round Up, causing illness… but that’s not the fault of humans. Nah.

    Humans are sick.

      Ummm, you think an atheist memes community would think that humans aren’t responsible for creating and using RoundUp?

      You’re a smart one.
