First of all, I don't believe that we have free will, but the argument of "free will" is the main theodicy that Christian apologists use. Here's why this argument cannot be justified if God is omnibenevolent. Omnibenevolence entails that God wants the maximum well-being for all living things...

On the wall of a concentration camp cell in Nazi Germany, an unknown prisoner wrote, “If there is a God, He will have to beg for my forgiveness”. What do you think happened to the prisoner after their death? Did God beg for their forgiveness and then, after being forgiven by the person, God...

Lately, I've come across several elderly people on the internet who have deconverted and left Christianity after decades of being practicing Christians and believers. Some of them began making videos about how much they regret having dedicated their lives to something they truly believed to be...

The Abrahamic God is described as having three major attributes: omnipotence, omniscience and omnibenevolence. The problem of evil / the existence of suffering in the world makes the coexistence of these three attributes logically impossible. Which of the three do you think is more likely to not...

I don't know if Bing's calculations are correct and I'm terrible at math, but, if 1000 Earthly years are like 1 day to God, then Jesus suffered the crucifixion for about 86.4 seconds in God's time. I don't know what to do with this information.

Check out this Reddit post: Basically, to summarize it, this guy's girlfriend is a Hellenistic pagan (with an altar for said deities) and she claims to "have a gift", and would frequently manifest precognition about various events, such as his health problems and the death of one of his...

I read an interesting post on Reddit and I'd like to ask you to share your thoughts on the matter. A Jewish man from America was married to a lady from Taiwan, they were both living in the US. His wife's mother, who lives in Taiwan, is practicing an Asian religion, I don't exactly remember what...

Asked what he would say to God if it turned out that He existed, atheist Stephen Fry had this to say: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/WTQG-cHGNHA I invite you to imagine what God could possibly reply to Fry. 😐

Is the fact that each human has a predetermined lifespan that is impossible to change a biblical concept? For example, I know of people who were declared on death's bed by medical doctors, but defied the odds by changing their lifestyle, using nutrition and various herbal medication to improve...

The development of AI seems to highlight the absurdity of these Biblical verses. Artificial Intelligence bots are humanity's first creation that could resemble a being. They are not sentient (at least to our current knowledge), yet people still consider that subjecting them to suffering or...

The term omnibenevolence means unlimited or infinite benevolence, or perfect goodness. It is often used to describe one of the attributes of God in the Christian faith, along with omnipotence (all-powerful) and omniscience (all-knowing). However, many people have challenged the idea that God is...

Short, clear and to the point. Take 4 minutes of your time to watch this video and share your counterarguments.

If 1 Corinthians 10:13 is addressed only to the people whom the respective letter was sent to, I have no comments on the matter. Since it is not applicable to me, I can't assess whether it's true or not. But, if the verse is supposed to be addressed to all Christians from all times, then it is...

What are some questions that you think the people of Jesus' time should have asked Him while He was on Earth (and that should have been recorded in the Bible)?

If you have a few minutes to spare, watch this short clip from an interview with Bertrand Russell. It summarizes several of his most important thoughts on God, religion and beliefs. One thing that I find fascinating in what he says is: "either a thing is true or it isn't; if it is true, you...

Personally, I have not yet read any of the holy books of other religions, but I want to do so, if God wills it. Have you read any of the holy books of other religions (besides your own)? If not, do you intend to give any a read in the future? Why or why not?
