God isn’t merely a subject, He is the creator of the universe and of man, who is made in His image. Humans have a moral compass because God designed us to, I don’t see how it being an “evolved trait” refutes this

Offence against God is evil. Morality doesn’t exist if it’s subjective. If morality is subjective, then who are you to tell me that doing x thing is wrong?
Sin and evil are equated lol. And any God who convicts people of their evil will be disliked by them, like how an angry kid dislikes a reasonable teacher
But you’re arguing against a god that’s not the God of Christianity. You’re arguing against a strawman god.
hope they criticize the idea of a good God commiting or letting people commit such atrocities when an alternative is available.
And to add to this point, religious people who died despite praying and living under the covenant aren’t able to witness the futility of the practice, only the few who survived do so.
The God that Christians believe in does punish evil- through Heaven and Hell. Evil will be punished at the judgement. The punishment for sin is Death, so if God punished evil as it happened, literally nobody would be left.
As to you talking about Christians (I assume) who “died” despite praying, they’re in Eternal Glory now. A Glory so magnificent that they wouldn’t even spare a thought for the suffering they went through while on earth.
Internet atheists constantly criticise God for things like Sodom and Gomorrah or Jericho, or The Flood
People get mad when God waits to punish evil then get mad when He actually does it. If God punished evil immediately, we’d all be dead lol.
Also, in terms of tithing, it doesn’t have to go to a church, just to a selfless but good cause. I even saw giving money to a friend who was financially struggling and had a bill to pay that they couldn’t pay a “tithe”. Asking people to give to charity isn’t greed
If there are any which it sounds like there weren’t
You have to take in account though everyone you saved from being mugged
Plot twist: God sent the scientists to make the bionic arm
Satan caused death to exist in the first place. And basically all of the deaths that were “caused” by God were actually to do with that person’s own actions.
Maybe I’m right, I am very against forcing morality on non-Christians due to what St Paul said in 1 Corinthians 5:12. Although some people get upset at me because they ask me my opinion on what I think is right and wrong and I give them an answer they didn’t want 😂
That actually seems kinda useful
Wouldn’t a Muslim friend be conservative?
Yeah. Arabic Christians literally call their God “Allah” too.
So is Satan, who’s ruined and killed billions
Literally the Biblical Satan. Who is the source of all evil.
I’m arguing on the basis of the Christian God who isn’t subjective
