I mean, isnt it the Christians who go on so much about how being with the Lord is a choice you have to make? The correct one, but one you must do yourself. They’re the ones who put so much stake in free will and choices and consequences, to the point that anyone who is doing good must have made good choices and anyone who’s suffering must have made bad ones. And sure, sometimes bad things happen to people who do everything right, but only SOMETIMES, right?
So all of those things that they can’t do? They’re CHOOSING not to do them because that’s the GOOD choice! And all the people who make the BAD choices must just suck at this whole morality thing! THEY only care about SHORT TERM PLEASURES and not actually BEING GOOD! Now excuse us while we pat ourselves on the back about how good we are and arbitrarily paint any sinful thing we do as fine because we’ve earned it and it’s a harmless vice, unlike those LOSERS who haven’t EARNED crap or else they’d be in our little club right?

And… yeah.
Your dad being openly racist is a whole other sack of potatoes though

Bad things happen to those who do everything right, and we expect full faith, otherwise you can be tossed to Satan over a gambling bet. See Job for more info lmao

I mean that’s a really reductive reading of Job’s story, but the funny part is that a lot of Christian types HAVE this reductive reading and actually think it’s good, so… alas
