    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.

    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
