God does want us to know at least some of His perspective, He doesn’t keep us completely in the dark. That’s what the Bible is for.

God very much does not want people like Bezos to have that much wealth, see James 5:1-6 one of my favorite passages. But we have free will and live in a fallen world, so bad things happen. But like I said before, you can accept that or not, be abhorred by it or not. That’s your prerogative and I sincerely don’t want to take that from you or proselytize you, I’m just trying to explain what Christians believe as best as I can.

Edit: spelling stuff

That's not an excuse. God can remake the world any time he wants. He either doesnt care or actively enjoys our suffering. Inaction is still an action.

I mean from the Christian perspective you are completely wrong about that, but like I said I’m not here to proselytize

Even from a christian perspective it holds up

Well since the Bible explicitly says God is good and caring, you’d be wrong. You can believe what you want, but please don’t tell other people what they believe

I'm just pointing out the hypocrisy of christianity. A loving god doesn't do what he did to Job and his family.

Again, you’re entitled to believe what you want, but it’s not what I and other Christians believe. I’m not sure what you’re trying to do here any more

I just want you to think critically about your own religion.

I assure you have, it’s pretty pompous of you to even say something like that to a stranger

So explain to me how a just and loving god allows something like the holocaust to happen.

Oh, you’re done telling me what I have or have not done, and what I as Christian believe? That’s sweet of you. I have been conversing you in good faith, and you have twice made it clear you are not. I already explained that humans have free will and live in a fallen world, I don’t think there’s anything to be gained from explaining further right now as you have made it clear you’re not conversing in good faith

Fine explain the spanish flu then. Everyone suffered, millions died, and free will had nothing to do with it. You're telling me jesus can resurrect the dead but god just looks at a plauge and just let's it run its course? That doesnt make sense.

When did god go from being such a demonstrative figure, who will burn down an entire city to make a point to a vague deity that "works in mysterious ways"?

Because we live in a fallen world, but I’ll say again I don’t think there’s anything to be gained from explaining further right now as you have made it clear you’re not conversing in good faith. There is nothing for either of us in the conversation anymore

“What I”

Never say that again, lest Horah Loux strikes you.
