Observation bias. All people able to converse with you on this forum are assumed to have a degree of leisure and prosperity. But doesn't that discount all the miserable poor people who's lives are a living hell?
Which truth is that? And name a period of history where religiously inspired hatred and violence didn't exist.
i dont know about you, but i think humanity is doing better then ever. compare our lives to the lives of people in the 1900s
those who do evil in the name of god will never last, how are those people who destroyed alexandria viewed today?
Yet those who gave us the Dark Ages of free though and Inquisition are still here. I believe you give religion too much credit as they are still producing evil homophobic and misogynous people. Regards DL

What about facts inherent to God's creation like, genetic diseases, human-specific parasites, birth defects, and natural disasters? Also what about religiously inspired evils, like religious wars, burning of witches, honor killings, stoning of adulterers blasphemers, etc?
jesus told us to forgive seventy times seven. to forgive those that forgive us is good, but to forgive those that do not forgive us is godly
if you want them to burn for disagreeing with you, how are you any different from those who burned alexandria?
The God reacts to our evil, but god the father believes he has done so and tells us the right way to live.
