Tsunamis, earthquakes, stillbirths, miscarriages happen constantly. They are not a result of human free will
If God can stop those and does not, he is evil and I deliberately choose to not worship him
If God can't stop those he is not all powerful and Christianity is wrong
In Buddhism we believe there are gods but choose not to worship them because they are not all powerful and not necessarily good I include the Biblical god in their number
Jesus seemed like a cool human though. I like his philosophy but don't believe he was god
And the Bible is full of rape, war and slavery that god did not condemn or actually encouraged. But yes, the pop stars are the problem. Spare me.
I'm a Buddhist priest my friend. I teach meditation in prisons and rehabs. When I'm not doing that I help the mentally handicapped live full lives. My life is humility and service.
Forgive me if you didn't make me question my life and my choices. I know who I am, what I believe in and what effect I have on the world
When I was a teen Marilyn Manson and Nine Inch Nails Nails were evil
When I was a kid it was Ozzy Osbourne and Judas Priest
Before that people were burning Beatles records
Before that Elvis was corrupting the youth
Save as it ever was, same as it ever was
No I'm a straight man married to a straight woman with a beautiful daughter. I just believe in fighting for the rights of everyone to exist. I have not heard any reports of children being sexually abused at drag shows, again as opposed to schools or church. That is my motive
Yes, because those difficulties don't need to exist and to allow them to exist when you can stop them is evil. Imagine a parent that tries to test their child or toughen them up by starving them and beating them. That's a bad parent
