[quote=ActRaiserTheReturned]The Gospel is like sowing seeds in a field.[/quote] Why bother though? Why bother with the whole faith act? Why does he need that? Why did he even create evil? Why create a religion that tells you not to think or question God in any way if he gave us this capacity in the first place? [quote=ActRaiserTheReturned]Although supernaturally a seed can grow instantly (conversion), it more often than not takes time to grow.[/quote] [b]He created everything, including time[/b], what is the point of a time test to a being that is immortal and who gifts you with immortal happiness or immortal damnation? [quote=ActRaiserTheReturned]If you just constantly ask "why"? It's not the same thing as me failing to address an issue.[/quote] Yes it is, you're failing to answer a very basic question about your God's morality. He created evil, he created suffering, and all for a test that in the end is arbitrary and predecided based on how he made you. How is that even remotely moral? What is even the point of it? So he can watch people suffer horribly?... What kind of loving god does that? [quote=ActRaiserTheReturned]Also, it gets tiring taking too long to do more than my job by answering different questions with no end to the conversation. To give a more concise answer, it's not wrong to ask why, or even ask, necessarily, too many questions, as long as you aren't just pretending as if I've been caught in some kind of a trap by getting tired.[/quote] Well, you can answer later, any time you like. It's just that every time I've asked why, I've never gotten an answer. It's always been "God works in mysterious ways" or some other way of saying "I don't know why". And I don't know is a fine answer. It really is. Just don't pretend that God is unquestionable, or that God is moral, when the very book written to worship him throughout it displays his depravity and callous nature towards his own creatures. Remember: He created the heroes, the prophets, and so on, but he also created the rapists, the villains, the child sacrifices, and so on... And he meticulously programmed them to fail from [i]day one[/i], then did nothing to stop it. The whole narrative falls apart on that notion alone if we take it as a fictional work, which is one thing I am actually good at it.
