Many, perhaps most, Christians can think of the inconsistencies in the Christian belief system just as easily as you can. There is other evidence in this world, that you seem to completely ignore, that causes people of faith to embrace the Christian faith. Many people of faith wrestle with the inconsistencies of belief with the inconsistencies of unbelief (There are just as many inconsistencies in unbelief too) and decide to take the leap into the faith of Christianity.

God is all powerful and has the power to be a superdoctor that's watching you 24/7. When God fails to 'just heal it' unconditionally it is a violation of the Hippocratic oath. This is God being evil by inaction. Real or not and with or without God's reasons, God is evil by default for billions of inactions of unconditional kindness. When a God requires to be prayed to/ASKED for healing then God is not being unconditional kind. It's petty and belittling for one to ask God 'pretty please ..pretty please fix my leg.' when God is fully aware of the situation and just due to pettiness and for no reason .. needs to hear 'pretty please'. God is more evil if he needs to be prayed to/asked when someone is unable to pray/ASK due to unconsciousness, coma, dementia or brain injury. 'He died cause he was unconscious and couldn't pray to/ask God for medical help.' The Hippocratic oath is a 'just do it' ethic. God is not a 'just do it' God. God has red tape. God is more evil than doctors. Christian engineers are ridiculous is thinking an omnibenevolent God is more good than doctors. -- D from BC British Columbia

This plane can't even get off the ground. God cannot be omniscient/all powerful at the same time due to being unable to change/know his future at the same time. God is undetectable and leaves no evidence (How about 'Made by God' carved on the moon') God is inconsistent with most real things leaving evidence. Any definition of God is inconsistent. The only thing consistent thing about God is the use of everything possible to force the existence of something that doesn't exist. You're presented with a box. You don't know what's in the box. You cannot test the box. There are many ideas that suggest there's something in the box. The box might be empty. An empty box is kinda sad. It's a pleasant thought there's something in the box. It's pleasant because people like having things over nothing. The pleasant feeling stems from the survival instinct. The survival instinct makes one feel good to acquire stuff for survival. There exists an emotional bias that there is something in the box. (Try it. Give someone a box. They're often delighted.) The 'something in the box' thinking is what has lead people to believe in God/Gods ever since the human brain began to handle abstract concepts. The universe is a big box and there's a God in it. Delightful but not scientific. -- D from BC British Columbia

(Matthew 19:21..) > New Living Translation (�2007) << Matthew 19:21 >> Jesus told him, "If you want to be perfect, go and sell all your possessions and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me." A work around is if a kid sells all his toys and gives the money to the poor. When the kid grows up and becomes a billionaire, he has already sold all his belongings (The cheap toys). He doesn't have to give away billions of dollars of possessions to get the treasure from heaven. Or perhaps it's not a one time action..
