You would think jesus would pay his bills. but i guess not.

Your problem is you don't distinguish between bad preachers and good ones. Then you imply that all religion is bad because of the actions of bad preachers. Shame on you!

 

Not unlike you implying that everyone who disagrees with you is a liberal.

 

believers are taught that jesus/god is omnipotent. would a loving god stand by and let bad preachers fleece people in his name?

Epicurus: Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?

 

we are told by abusers that taking hard drugs makes them feel better even though science can predict it will do long term damage. do you not educate them about the error of their thinking just because it makes them feel better?

 

When people are found to be terminal we give them hard drugs.

 

God gives us free will. I don't blame God if man does evil.

 

then you agree that god is not omnipotent?

 

Omnipotent is defined as having unlimited power.
Is God's power limited if he chose to do nothing?

 

if he chooses to do nothing in the face of evil there can only be two conclusions. either he wants the evil to happen or he is powerless to stop it. if he is the author of evil does he deserve worship or scorn?

 

and he thinks pointing out that some churches are being foreclosed on will do it??
