The biggest problem I see with most religion is how bad they make God appear to be.
Christians don't need to make the God of the Bible "appear bad". God does that all by Himself. Consider the Flood. Puppies and kittens and beautiful young virgins suffered His wrath. God ordered Joshua to kill men, women, children, and their livestock.

God even claims He killed His Own Son for the atonement of sin. And God is vengeful and will send all who reject His Son to an eternal punishment.
I wonder what happens to all those billions of souls scattered all over the earth that never got to read about Jesus, never heard of him, and sure never saw him. They didn't know about God's son and didn't have the opportunity to accept or reject him. That is a problem.

That's a problem for you, but not for God. God says He will send His angels in "fire dealing out retribution to those who do not know God and to those who do not obey the Gospel of our Lord Jesus."
Well OK, but what about those billions? Is there reincarnation? God cannot be unjust.


Patriotism (and religion) is the last refuge of a scoundrel.

Jesus: "Take heed that no man deceive you."
