    Luckily he’s the CEO of the wealthiest organisation on Earth

    Or maybe not, after all

    It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.

      Well, if you’re arguing from the position of god not exiting in the first place, then the counterargument could be that god decided to give the pope lung cancer to test him and thus make him a stronger man. If he dies from the cancer then… well… It’s still god’s plan. Sorry, you lose either way (heavy, HEAVY sarcasm meant)

        Yep, a classic: suffering is part of God’s plan. The real question is whether God could pull off his grand plan with less suffering. Is it really necessary to give infants leukemia to accomplish his goal? If yes, he’s not all powerful. If no, he’s an asshole. Then they sidestep to free will and sin, at which point you ask them who decided the consequences of sin in the first place.
