This Is the Soft Underbelly of Christianity
A friend of mine, who goes by the name of Fellow Feather, often writes adverts for different publications that are designed to be provocative. Here is his latest one, and it's poignant and pointed!
GREATER EVIL IS BEYOND THE IMAGINATION OF MANthan that God,perfect in every way,all-powerful,needing nothing,knowing everythingpast, future and even possible;a loving, just, merciful and forgiving Father;would summarily create, from innocent nothingness,creatures capable of suffering,knowing in advance, which ones he will consignto suffer eternally --as promised by Jesus!No act of his 'creature-victim'could justify this verdict of unsurpassable hate,injustice and mercilessness;all in all, the very definition of unforgiving.Nothing more is needed, though volumes provide it,to prove that such a Godis not and never was, except as the sickcreation ofman.________________________________________________THIS IS THE SOFT UNDERBELLY OF CHRISTIANITYNone of the more sophisticated and far more complex arguments against this God, indispensable as they are, has caused Christians to see that their story -- as they define it -- makes God the Unforgivable Sinner.Shouldn't We Find A Way To Tell Them?
