I dunno why people insist on the active and present model of God,

It's pretty obvious that at the most he's diligently observing the way things are shaking out, like even from textual evidence within the Bible, he was active, but he isn't now

We killed his kid, so he's giving us the silent treatment.

The Christian God is a narcissistic spoiled brat.
- Way I always took it was by specifically abolishing original sin, Jesus abolished being judged for your associations and family, and instead being judged for your own choices in life.
  
  Basically Christianity tells a narrative of divine salvation going from being a gift for a chosen people provided their maintaining their covenant with their God, to said covenant being abolished, and said salvation now being what people experience from the act of choosing to do good things for yourself and for the folks around you.
  
  From justice being tied to a code of blood feuding to a code of retaliatory law, to a choice you make every day to spread good through your actions.
- Which he knew was about to happen and didn't stop.
  
  Here's what I don't get, among many, many other parts of the bible. If he's omnipotent and omniscient, and we're all sinners, why not just forgive us? Why allow -- no, require -- your son to be tortured and killed first? I want someone to explain it to me like I'm in Sunday school in a way that makes more sense than "because the bible is a work of fiction written by superstitious men who were obsessed with blood sacrifice".
- Eh, (old testament events aside) I'd probably do the same thing in his position lol
Ok Christianity claims the following to be true:

God is allmighty

God is eternal (immortal)

God is allknowing

So we have a god that knows everything unfair and evil that is happening right now on this planet. He has the power to do anything about it. And yet he doesn't.

This means god if he does exist is an absolute asshole! He doesn't care a little bit about us. He maybe watches us and grabs some popcorn: "let's see how much they fuck up today".

I think there is no god.
- God is just a scientist. He/She (why gender a god that would be beyond genders?) are just conducting scientific experiments to see if they can make another version of "God."
  
  See God is just really lonely and wants an equal to talk to.
- 1 and 2 could still be true even if he was inactive, and it could be that letting us fuck up on our own is the point? Like how much moral value is the right decision if it was made for you by an all powerful hand you couldn't possibly reject the influence of?
  
  For a choice to be moral, it has to of course result in the moral outcome, but it also has to come from the genuine wish to do the moral thing because you understand why it's the moral thing and wish to live in that understanding.
  
  So God stepping in and fixing every problem would basically be an act robbing humanity of the ability to act morally.
  
  I think it doesn't matter if there is or isn't a god, and that getting bogged down in the debate of it is an act of missing the point entirely.

I hate that my grandmother keeps doing this... She's been through a bit, she's very resourceful and she keeps herself healthy, yet nothing positive is her doing, it's all God. God did this God gave me that, God God God...

It's goddamn frustrating, grandma YOU did that not "God!"

I pointed out to my partner that judging by the Grammys, God (WTF autocorrect why was that capitalized??) is really busy with people getting awards and doesn't have time for pesky things like violence and privation.

God (WTF autocorrect why was that capitalized??)

I think in English often the Christian God is written as God because you're not talking about any god but a particular god basically named God. So the autocorrect jumps into to capitalize it because I guess it's the assumption they make.
- This is correct. It's capitalized because English was practically built around Christianity

The “global pandemic” one is likely a 90+% shortfall.

When researchers examine “excess deaths”, the spike from 2020 onward represents an additional 30 million deaths in excess to what should have occurred in the absence of COVID.

Also the global deathtoll to COVID directly is closer to 11 million not 2.5

  Most “excess deaths” are directly COVID-related, in that COVID infection was the only reason why they died, a d yet their death was not properly recorded as having been from COVID, mainly for political reasons or lack of pre-death testing (because you cannot test a corpse).
- And that's only 1 global pandemic!

Just once I wanna hear the star quarterback of the Superbowl say "I'd like to thank Satan for this victory. Through him, all things are possible in exchange for your mortal soul."
