why can we look at the Abrahamic Faiths and say:

"man they sure had it wrong about slavery, treatment of women and children, homosexuals, eating shellfish/pork, etc, etc"

But just assume these sand nikkas had it spot on in terms of knowing the origins of the universe and communing with the creator? :hhh::francis::jbhmm:

they way he explained it here you can tell thats not what he truly feels, most of the bad things that happen or have happened is due to humans being dumb and he knows it, but i get that he has to hold up his rep and gimmick.
He has implied in the past that he is agnostic and things like catastrophic weather events and cancer can happen without human influence lol.

catastrophic weather events and cancer can happen without human influence, anyone with a brain knows this, so why would he say

"oh i dunno if i believe in god, 10 children just died in a flood, 5 babies were born with 7 arms, why would god do this? arrrghhhh whyyyy, who am i???"

Im not gonna try and speak for him on that level. I will say for me I dont buy into the free will argument it could be a god or creator but if so he is deeply flawed imo.

Doesn't make sense people will talk about gods influence all the time then when something fukked up happens the free will argument comes back into the equation. "Is it "Oochie Wally Wally" or is it "One Mic"?

I mean, its absolute nonsense.

1. You are insinuating you know what he is thinking

2. Why the fukk would he ascribe logic and reasoning and lie about it?

So natural disasters are the result of humans stupidity? Children dying from incurable diseases are the fault of humanity?

No please educate me on how it works.

lol this guy

alright so you have the free will to slap your mother if you want to, im sure the thought has come into your mind maybe once but you dont do it, its your choice if ypu want to act on that action , same with a breh that keeps on drinking and drinking till his sick, he might ask why did he start drinking so much why would god fuk him up but the breh had a choice, his mind spoke for him and he followed

like ive said before humans and "god" are not perfect , perfect is what you make it, like i keep saying history plays on this alot but i think people ignore it, i'll say this . zeus is known at the thunder god but do you know much dumb shyt hes done? some people would say a guy like zeus isnt ment to be doing all these stupid things , he isnt perfect .
