@basilfawlty89 why dont you?

@SilentObZerver because despite being raised in the faith, I don't see the Abrahamic God as realistic. If God is omnipotent, then he can stop evil, but if he allows evil, then God is not all good a d ever loving.

"God is supposed to be omnipotent, but there's evil in the world
And he allows it, therefore he is not good and all-loving."

What if he allows it for a purpose?

@SilentObZerver then he can't be all loving nor good.

@basilfawlty89 why?

You see your child going through pain and suffering, yet you know though their current plight is not the best , you know the ultimate goal is best for them.....

@SilentObZerver which proves God can't be omnipotent. If he was all powerful, he could stop the plight in a thanos snap

@basilfawlty89
What if He's Omnipotent but not loving ?

@SilentObZerver then he can't be the Abrahamic God and it would be necessary to dethrone him for the sake of liberty.

Christains are just Jews by religion.
