It's the same logic as God burying dinosaur bones 6000 years ago to test our faith.

One of my shining moments as an atheist was leading a coworker to realize that the above reasoning was bullshit.

She was already part way there just by asking me about it, I just answered her questions until she arrived at the right conclusion.

That claim always pissed me off. Like, what kind of god would actively attempt to trick people and be worth worshipping.

The story of Job is a great showcase of God being a cunt.

"He devil, you want to see how much I can ruin this guy's life before he hates me?"

I remember in high school when the principal came into class one day and said how that's his favorite story from the bible. That shit's fucked up

I’ve always heard it was satan who did it to trick them

Which is circular because god is omnipotent, therefore anything satan does, god has allowed.

Which is especially odd considering Satan is typically regarded as being unable to "create" things
