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

What a saint that woman was.

Heads up: I’m sure you know, but others might not, that Mother Teresa was a sadistic con artist.

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.

"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.
