If he really existed he'd prove all doubters wrong, right? I mean, if you're an all knowing being, why would you want doubt in peoples minds? It doesn't make sense.

Taking religion as fact is insane to me.

My whole issue is the fact that people say this is terrible, blame the churches/religion, and people who believe in it come to the defense. Believe what you want, but don't put the belief of hate in children at such a young age. It's ruining society and has been for years.

I do find it funny though, that the people who believe in the "hewhomustnotbenamed" can't just admit this has to do with religion.

Do you believe that the Westboro Baptist Church, for example, is representative of the typical Christian church? Or is even a church at all?
