What I don’t get about this sort of preaching is that it highlights a major issue with the Christian faith. If their god is truly good and loves everyone equally, why is he so selective with his miracles? Why wait until the preacher is attacked to cure the child’s blindness? Why allow the preacher to be harmed at all? Why even need preachers if you’re so powerful? You could just show everyone you exist, and fix their worst problems while you’re at it.
Maybe their god wants us to live without his direct intervention, which I can respect. However, why would we see ANY miracles then? He seems quite petty.
I’m not even an atheist. I have spiritual beliefs. But these half-assed attempts at spreading their faith just come across as desperate and manipulative.
Oooh look into the old testament. God is super petty. Christianity is a retcon
"why did you kill my family, drive away my flock, make my friends hate me, and riddle me with disease?"
"To win a bet. Also don't fucking talk back to me you little shit!"
Job, right? (I wasn't raised in a particularly religious home)
Yes that's Job, the favorite punching bag
This a great video by Dr Justin Sledge that explained the evolution of Yahweh from being a storm god, the devil (ba’al), a wise old zeus-like head of a pantheon, and all the fun ways people hated each other for it.
