    I refuse to believe that a religious decal with a praying Sonic isn’t satire.

    Stupid word positioning aside; the message is “Do whatever you want, God will stop you if you’re not supposed to. If don’t get stopped God willed it.”

    What a way to live, assuming all your actions are divinely ordained otherwise you couldn’t do them. I don’t really understand how that thought can be consistent with the concept of sin though…

    Anyway, I shouldn’t try to bring logic into religion.

      Meh they know it ain’t like that, as with alot of religious folks their narcissism is the primary motivator, the religious text is the excuse

        God’s grace keeps murderers & rapist where they are (in a position of power), bless them.

        Deus sure can vult a lot of bullshit through the asses mouths of (semi?)religious propaganda.

      I read this as entirely the opposite. Something along the lines of “God won’t put you into bad situations you can’t make it through”. Similar to “If you’re going through hell, keep going”

      The kind of small comforts Christians tend to seek out when dealing with major hardships in life, like loved ones passing away. “Why would God put me through this?” Because if you have faith he’ll take you through and out the other side.

      These people know nothing of actual religion. They just use it as a shield.

      It’s more logically consistent than anything else I’ve heard. God created the universe knowing every action that would be taken with that particular setup. He chose that one though, so it must be the one that caused everything he wanted. He could have chosen from literally an infinite number of possible options, and he can always change the starting conditions to create any result, so whatever happens he knew was going to happen.

      Those same people who believe he had this power will say something about free will. However, he isn’t omniscient if he doesn’t know which choice you will freely make, and set things up so you’ll make the choice he wants. It just doesn’t make sense.

    In plain English:

    God won’t where, can’t

    God will never appear (to you), because he can’t

    take you his grace, keep you

    Steal his power and keep it for yourself.
