God simply doesn't care

[ThePainefulTruth]

There were 164 posts before yours that imply differently.

Did any of them present any facts or evidence besides hearsay? If not (and I've been doing this for decades and haven't seen any yet), then it's fish in a barrel. Atheists argue for atheism by finding contradictions and other errors in the Bible, but that only negates the Bible, it doesn't argue for atheism as much as many of them try to imply that it does.

Why don't you come up with some credible evidence to demonstrate that God cares?

We don't even know if God exists, but if It does, it would be reasonable to expect that God does care about it. Look at it the other way, why would God create the universe and then walk away. It would make no sense.

So God was responsible for the Holocaust? For 2 world wars?

According to Christians, the responsibility for genocide and war lies with humans.

According to Christians, the responsibility for genocide and war lies with humans.

OK, some questions:
1. Do Christians believe God made man, and if so why did he build in this capacity for selfishness, violence and evil? Or do Christians believe man evolved naturally, and if so does God have any power to intervene in human affairs?
2. How do Christians explain why God didn't intervene in the Holocaust and other genocides, world wars etc? Is it because God was powerless to intervene, or because he didn't care about the horrendous suffering involved? Or both? If you believe that God exists then logically it must be one of these three options.
3. Do Christians believe that human existence is some sort of moral test where God decides who passes and who fails, heaven and hell being the two possible outcomes?

Discussions like this are usually plagued by eel-wriggling and side-stepping, so it would be good to hear some clear and straightforward answers to these questions.

Post any of these questions as op.
