Christians make me uncomfortable

[Snitchin Splatter]

would any christian like to address this?

Whats there to address? God can do all things. He has the power to do everything and nothing. He doesnt fit into some cherry-picked definitions someone threw together to discredit him. If you are under the impression a creator exists there are no limitations on anything he can do.

Okay. I'm not saying my answer is perfect. I'm just saying it's my answer.
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?
Is he able but not willing?
Is he able and willing?
Is he neither able nor willing?
The answer is God is able to do all things. Is he willing? God's will is higher than everyone's will. We humans do not understand all reasons for everything evil or good that happens. Some things we question and sometimes, they make us question our faith and the existence of God.
If you look at Genesis, God created man and gave him free will to do what he wants to do. If humans didn't have free will, then we would all be robots which is not what God wanted. If he was willing to stop man from making evil choices, robbing, killing, etc., then God would not have created a being with free will as He intended.
Cain killed Abel. His brother. Cain had total free will. It's kind of strange, but it shows the depth of the free will given to man. We are not robots.
Epicurus is questioning why God doesn't intervene evil from happening. And because evil happens and God doesn't intervene, he believes that God doesn't exist.
Why didn't God stop Cain? If God stopped Cain, then He could have. But it was not in His will. Daniel was thrown into a den of lions, but it was God's will to save him. Why? It was God's will.
Abel was innocent. Cain was the bad guy. Abel didn't deserve death. What good came of that? It shows that God truly created human beings with total free will. Proof of God's ability. Kind of dark. If everybody was a goody-two-shoes, we would all question, did we really get free will as He originally intended?

@Napoleon you gotta address this breh

 

[Chris.B]

You can also do miracles if you become a Christian. The power of God is given freely to his children.

You can address it too. Why not?

Cuz I'm not sure

You can discuss your thoughts. What are you not sure of?

You're basically saying God doesn't do anything because he wants us to have free will?

What I am saying is that when we see humans doing evil things, it is because God has given man free will.
If we see something that seems to be evil, like a Christian who is a good person getting eaten by a shark, it's part of God's will and we as humans may not understand why or how it fits into the bigger picture of God's will. God sent His own Son to be sent to earth to be wrongly accused, tortured and killed. That alone, face value, is evil. Why did he allow that evil to happen? The end result is Christ dying on the cross so that all men can be saved. If God intervened and stopped that evil, then Christ would not have died for our sins.

If he won't stop evil then what good is he and why does he deserve to be worshipped. Isn't he basically useless

I'm talking about in person, everytime they start going on that God stuff I cringe. I'm not 100% atheist but still, shyt just makes me want to run for the hills.

They all seem like really delusional people, almost zombie or child-like.

I'd avoid them at all cost if I could... real talk

Exactly how I feel when I'm having a music convo with somebody and midway through they be like, "You know ----------- is in the Illuminati now, right?" and I just go .......

I immediately take about 30 IQ points away from that person and change the subject
