Take the christ pill

There's so much fucked up shit and suffering in this world that happens without the involvement of others. That is the antithesis of benevolence.
You can't brush away bone cancer in infants with free will.

Blame Adam for eating the fruit, there wasn't even death in the original creation

Also, I didn't say anything about free will. God tolerates evil for His own glory (which is the greatest good), not in service to mere mortals, mere creatures, which are lower compared to Him than insects are to us.

>I don't really understand where you think the internal logic isn't holding up here
Why are his rules arbitrary? If he loves goodness wouldn't he just make everyone good all the time? If he possesses limitless power then that should be easy.
Why would he create a bad spirit realm just for punishing the same people he gave free will to? Why isn't existence perfection? Why didn't he tell us how to harness electricity? Or the importance of hygiene? Or anything but weird rules about worshiping him?

Desert nomad mythology from 3000+ years ago isn't helpful at all and playing make-believe as an adult is simply pathetic.

There is no conclusive evidence that God exists or has ever existed, so why should I believe in Him? Because of "faith"? If God exists, and we are His children, he must've left us in a hot car.

>reducing the beliefs and traditions of many cultures, not just Christianity, to mere make-believe
Pure ignorance, this is why people just say they're agnostic, they don't want to be seen as a cringey pseudointellectual atheist. You're not even getting the logic right.

I can't believe in Christianity for two main reasons:
>life has always seemed very strange to me and I can't imagine there being a plan behind it
>the religions that seem right to people seem obviously determined by their cultural background in most cases, not some kind of innate conscience
If anyone can answer these I might fuck around and become religious.

>God tolerates evil for His own glory
So worship a vain sinister monster that thinks it's funny when you suffer so he'll give you infinity ice-cream when you die?
Is that your whole thing? Just to get free gifts in death? Fuck everything else? Please torture me, oh powerful monster! I am wretched before thee (oh, and I really really like you so make with the goods after I'm dead *wink*)

>implying pretending something is real when it clearly isn't is not the definition of "make believe"
Okay, sure. I'm the ignorant one. You're not cringe at all.

>the beliefs and traditions of many cultures
So you're multi-cultural now? Nice. Do you respect the animism of the Native Americans? Do you take time out of your week to make a sacrifice to Niltsi the holy wind that blows life into us?
And do you thank the god of the hunt, Haasche'e Oolt-ohi, when you eat the flesh of an animal? I hope so, because it's definitely not make-believe. It's really really real just like yours.
