    I mean this is a relatively easy question to answer. God is a cruel dictator. It doesn’t really speak to if God can do those things, or if God is real. Only to God’s character.

    That would be a hand out, which is socialism. You wouldn’t want god to be a filthy socialist now, would you? Pull yourself up by your bootstraps.

      “Multiple pastors tell me, essentially, the same story about quoting the Sermon on the Mount, parenthetically, in their preaching—‘turn the other cheek’—[and] to have someone come up after to say, ‘Where did you get those liberal talking points?’” Moore said.

      “When the pastor would say, ‘I’m literally quoting Jesus Christ’ … The response would be, 'Yes, but that doesn’t work anymore. That’s weak,” he added. “When we get to the point where the teachings of Jesus himself are seen as subversive to us, then we’re in a crisis.”

      I hope there wasn’t anything inappropriate at Subway school!

      Sorry, couldn’t resist this very funny misspelling. Now let me get back to planning for limitless hydroelectricity that will save the world.

    The demiurge hates us. That’s why.

    God is the Universe, and he loves us. He does provide, but he isn’t a being or person, he doesn’t act like that.

    Everything that happens is just part of his dream.
