One simple but logical statement: "god is omni potent hence knows everything, because god created everything in a certain way the god knew that where everything was created in that way the god would cause plagues, famines, billions of deaths". Biggest sinner correct, the god caused the "most evil", and "the most good" based off this cultures subjective morality which I think are ethics.No, that is incorrect. Morality is the absolute worst place to start. How can I or any other person know the intent of another's action?
Somewhere in history people got the idea that God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit were mall cops and the Earth was one big mall. The Bible isn't about whether we should or shouldn't smoke meth. It's about our soul. If God knows everything, and people live in the moment. God must know that humans are at a disadvantage. That being said, the second biggest assumption many Christians and non-Christians think is that God, through the atonement of Christ, gives people a free pass to be unjust, self-centered, and basically all around buttholes. Christians need to accept responsibility for their own actions and should understand that those actions come with repercussions.
I believe that I can pray all day but if my neighbor can't feed their family, I am going to cook for a week in hopes they can eat. That's not being moral, that's being caring. If someone is a Christian and they are not altruistic, they are just bad people.
I must repeat, sin isn't morality. Courts uphold the laws and punish accordingly. Every Christian MUST abide by the laws of the land. It's everyone's responsibility. Otherwise, the opposable thumb is our only unique quality.
Bombing abortion clinics, hating homosexuals, and every other ridiculous thing that many Christians do is an abomination in the eyes of God. So the first thing is to understand the primary tenets of faith. Then(and only then) can meaningful discussion take place.
Another, how can a god be all powerful when the god cannot cause itself not to exist then to exist, as when nothing is there nothing can cause something to exist; nothing can be created out of nothing to therefore a god cannot create only shape.
