    Because we keep harming ourselves. If your daughter started to engage in harmful behaviour, wouldn’t you want her to listen to you and stop? I am sure God is proud when we do good and shun evil, and make beautiful things. But He isn’t when we sin.

      I’m all ears if God decides to come down and tell me what I’m doing is wrong. Until then, I’m gonna keep doing it.

          That’s just a load of bull.

          Putting aside the fact that the guy in the video was pretty annoying and relied on the viewer reaching the same conclusions as him the entire time, and that God preannounced himself SO WELL that there’s an entire branch of religion that believes in the books preannouncing him, but doesn’t see Jesus as the actual messiah.

          He keeps comparing it to a relationship, and how you want your partner to choose you out of their free will. Well, the little difference is that if the girl I like doesn’t choose me, I’m not condemning her to eternal damnation. That’s called being a psycho.

          The analogy doesn’t really work when it’s “choose me out of your free will, or else”.

            The amount of Jews in existence are negligible compared to Christians. That, and the talmud and general mental gymnastics to get around the prophecies.

              In present times, of course. Jews have been persecuted a plethora of times throughout history.

              If you look at early AD Centuries, when christians were the ones persecuted, their population is estimated to be 2% of the entire Roman Empire in Year 250. That’s not a lot for being just 200 years after God supposedly, unmistakably showed himself to the world.

                Well yeah, it’d take time to grow.
