Why Didn’t Jesus Do Something? If Jesus is God, as many Christians believe that he is, why didn’t he look into the future when he was on earth, and take action to fix the problems that arose because of Christianity, and his followers, after he went to Heaven. For example, Jesus’ followers argued about the nature of God. Some said God was a unity, some said God was a Trinity, they argued and they killed each other. But the problem is that the Bible is ambiguous about the nature of God. Jesus could have foreseen this deadly dispute and had the Bible writers explain the nature of God in absolutely clear certain terms. Jesus could have foreseen the Catholic Protestant disputes, with its wars and millions dying and had the Bible written so the Catholic Protestant differences would not have come about. But Jesus did nothing. What about the murdering of Jews, Heretics, and Homosexuals? Slavery? Suppression of Science? Book burning? Jesus could have had the Bible written to preclude his followers from taking slaves and murdering in his name. But Jesus did nothing. What about Atheists, who require proof in order to believe? Why didn’t Jesus provide indisputable proof? Billions of people believe that Jesus is God and that he loves mankind. But when he could have acted to benefit man he failed. That’s why I think Jesus is a fraud. His story is just fiction. And Jesus did not rise from the dead. Jesus’ inaction just proves that if he ever was, he died, and we never heard from him again. ​

nicknotes comments on Apr 19, 2018:

Atheism is true and correct because Bible God does not exist. "God is Love" 1John 4:8 But Bible God endorses slavery, polygamy, genocide, and the murder of Heretics and Homosexuals. Bible God treats women as 2nd class citizens, and he is prejudiced against the handicapped. God intends to burn Billions in Hell for all eternity. This is not love. "God is love" is contradicted by the above mentioned unloving actions. Therefore God does not exist and Atheism is true and correct.​
