So, let's say God is all-powerful. That means he can do anything he wants. But then why didn't he prevent Hitler from killing six million Jews? Why didn't he stop 9/11? Why doesn't he just smite all the people who are currently oppressing the Christians?

Protestants are correct that Christianity is fundamentally a libertarian religion. The core tenants are basically that forcing your will over others is an abomination and you should never allow anyone else to enforce their will over you either through taking your resources or telling you what to do (turn the other cheek isn’t about not defending yourself but not seeking revenge). The only way Christianity allows for the enforcement of will is through social shunning and ostracism. The main reason Catholic and orthodox theocracy is gaining traction is because people are power hungry in the face of declining belief not because it actually aligns with Christian theology.

For example: Lourdes, La Salette, Fatima, Zeitoun.
She correctly predicted historical events, no less, and converted many throughout history.

We have more evidence of these apparitions than of Christ's resurrection. Even skeptics witnessed the Miracle of the Sun, for example.

The rise of technology is typically seen as an almost universal good.

However, far into the future when people study our era I think it will be seen as more of a mixed bag. The war waged on the spiritual aspect of humanity is tantamount to a genocide. Not of people of course, but of their souls. When you look back into history at the peoples of the past, you'd be hard pressed to find a single group who didn't hold some sort of spiritual belief. But in our modern era even the poorest and most destitute have a wealth of options in terms of escapism to completely block out any need or want for spirituality. Regardless of your personal views on the topic of spirituality, you have to admit that it's probably not good for the species long term to be walking down such a path. I mean, this is uncharted territory. No one has ever lived through what we're living through right now. Typically, scenarios like this end very very badly.

Is the term animacide taken yet?

God is omniscient, i.e has infallible, comprehensive knowledge of everything.

God is eternal and possessed this knowledge prior to the creation of the world.

As an example, God possessed the knowledge that at a certain time , Cain will slay Abel.

Man cannot change the past. Man can also not change God and his knowledge given the immutability of God.

Therefore, if God infallibly knew that Cain would slay Abel prior to his doing it, then it follows that it was absolutely preordained to occur in spite of Cain or Abel. It could not been otherwise given God knowing it to occur.

Jesus said that all the blood of the prophets, from righteous Abel to Zechariah, will be charged against that generation. Jesus taught that the prophets spoke until John the Baptist, and then the Kingdom of Heaven has been revealed, and everyone is forcing their way into it. Jesus said that all the prophets will be in the kingdom of heaven with the patriarchs. He said that those who give their lives in this age to serve Him will inherit the kingdom.

Basically, this world is a test, and if you obey righteously and speak the truth, you will be persecuted and possibly killed. Your reward for this is eternal life, inheritance in the kingdom of heaven, eternal rewards, and even up to thrones.

When Abel died, God has him covered with much more in eternity than he ever could have enjoyed in this life

Jesus said we should sell our possessions and give to the poor and follow Him in order to gain the kingdom

Choice, in the ordinary sense of the word. Like people use it every day. (despite determinism being true)
>>
>>16834629
people have no idea about the sense they use the word in everyday speech. that's why the myth of free will survives, because it sure as hell does not stand up to scrutiny. the most often used sense is that of argument from internal experience: "I am aware of my own mental processes leading up to a choice being made" is the most widespread one, closely followed by "I don't know what other people will do next, therefore choice".
>>
>>16830832
>then it logically must occur.
putting the cart before the horse
He knows it because it will occur because you will make that decision. Your free will is real, but your understanding of it is limited to you existing within spacetime. God doesn't exist within our confined spacetime conception, which is where all "paradoxes" around God arise from. This is why most religions just say "God is incomprehensible" and move on. We literally are unable to comprehend it and if we try, in some cases, we'll end up drawing the wrong conclusions

I'll start, the National Railroad Passenger Corporation or Amtrak's obsessively constantly changing paint jobs.

You'd think for a company that is a chronically underfunded and underappreciated as Amtrak, they would be relatively frugal with things like paint jobs, just pick one that works and stick with it. But no, in their five-decade existence, they've changed paint schemes SIX times, soon to be going on a seventh with the introduction of new locomotives.

>Half of them were descended from aristocrats and lords The other half descended from hearty yeoman stock who became aristocrats through trading slaves
Most of them bullshit, only the elite. Do you base a person being "descended from aristocrats and lords" based on their surname? If so, it's wrong. People had their surnames to LARPing their prestige, not because they were royal descendants (something similar happened here in Brazil: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silva). Being a rich slave owner as well as being bourgeois does not make you an aristocrat, but an oligarch.
>Disproves the myth that slaves were oppressed
I said many, not all, you functionally illiterate. If southern slavery was good for all of them, the Underground Railroad wouldn't exist. It is logical that these slaves who were seen as family members were domestic servants rather than the plantation workers who were the majority.
>if white southerners are mullattos then why do they cluster and collate almost exactly with englishmen?
Why do you compare them to Englishmen when the British Empire had already abolished Slavery when the Civil War happened? You know that if the USA were still their colony, that would have made white southerners more mulatto than they are today.
