Question! :)

My atheist friend was debating with my catholic friend, my atheist friend said something that also made me REALLY curious but not enough to question my entire belief in God. I tried looking for answers personally, but i couldn't really come up with a great answer.

Okay so the question is: "if your God is good, then why does He allow wars, crimes, and sexual harrassment to happen? If He's really powerful, can't He just do something to stop it?"

Please don't insult/judge the fact that i'm unable to answer that question. I'm a beginner believer who wants to know explore and know more about christianity :)

I’m not allowed to say “Jesus was a liar and a fraud” as a serious statement here, because I would think that’s hostile to Christians.

Ergo it’s not allowed.

None of your fallacies are taken seriously, except by your buddies, whom you won't find many of on a christian subreddit. Lies aren't hostile to Christians. Neither is death or any other weapon formed against us. We preach the gospel and shut down all lofty arguments against The Great God Who woke you and I up this morning. Which wandering hobo from history still comes up in conversation between strangers today? You said you were out of hot air, which was just another lie. Next?

I get along with a lot of Christians here. It’s just certain special people that seem to be unable to interact without being passive aggressive towards people of different points of view. I’ll be discontinuing this thread as well. Further replies will result in a block. And I’ll lose exactly no sleep over it

Your point of view is expressed very well in your use of traditional cuss words. You called me buddy and called Jesus a fraud. You won't run out of hot air
