They do! But the Christian argument is that Satan tied them into his plot to trick people as well.

Satan's plan sounds awesome. They won't even tell me what God's plan is. Just that he has one. Does he have a plan? Or does he just have the concept of one? πŸ€”

I don’t know, i read the Bible. Those stories aren’t the flex god thinks they are.

Pshaw, let's see you or your deity turn someone into a pillar of salt for looking the wrong way, fuck yeah Team God!

honestly when you read the bible god is pretty relatable, he's kinda just proud of having literally created everything (including evil, isaiah 45:7) and wants to be worshipped for it, and gets angry when you don't worship him for having literally created everything by himself.
It all makes more sense when you drop the idea that god is arbitrarily perfect and good.

I can't say i'd do better with absolute power of creation and having to literally create the concept of existence on my own. If we're created in the image of god then frankly it's a wonder we're as friendly as we are.

yeah that's honestly pretty close to how i feel god must be if he's real, why would he consider us anything other than entertainment? why would he care particularly much about us?
