Have you ever been talking to that friend – the one who acts like a teenage philosopher, frequently dismissing God and faith and organized religion with their own brand of “logic” and (what they believe to be) “common sense?”
I had a lot of those friends in high school. I had a lot of those teachers and those professors, too. Some were annoying. Others were lost. Still others were carrying some deep-seeded hurts in their life and God and the Church became easy targets to blame.
The most common question I heard from my self-proclaimed agnostic and atheist friends was, “If God is forgiving and all-loving, why does this God send people to Hell?”
