@pb1022 saidAs much as it takes to end needless suffering.
I asked you this question first - which you dodged:
How much do you want God to interfere with man’s free will?
For the third time: will you allow your wife to be raped so you don't infringe on a rapist's free will? Or will you dodge yet again? This only takes a yes or no.

@fmf saidAnd I see you’re flustered and starting to whizz in the pool.
I see you ~ and your demeanour and behaviour and the beliefs you espouse ~ to be part of Christianity, regardless of how bogus or hypocritical you so often come across. I see "Romans1009 in 2018" as a part of Christianity, for example.
Nice chatting with you.
@vivify saidNo, of course not.
As much as it takes to end needless suffering.

Just as it’s a rapist’s free will to try to rape a woman, it’s my free will to try to stop him.
Why does a rapist’s free will to choose to rape a woman trump my free will to protect her?

So you’d have God take away every married man’s free will to have an affair since it would result in needless suffering for his wife and kids?

@fmf saidYou can’t know for certain who is a Christian and who isn’t because you can’t know for certain what they really believe.
On the contrary, I have provided a reasonable, practical definition of Christianity and Christians.
You can reasonably guess by how they behave, but even then, you have no idea how they behave when they’re not in public.

@pb1022 saidFor the purposes of conversations about Christianity, I perceive you and your behaviour and values to be part of Christianity based on the assertions you make.

@pb1022 saidBingo. And God himself has free will to stop such men, right?
No, of course not.
Just as it’s a rapist’s free will to try to rape a woman, it’s my free will to try to stop him.

Likewise, God has freewill to stop evil acts of racism, especially from a group that is supposed to represent Jesus.

@vivify saidIt’s not an apples to apples comparison.

One man exercising his free will to interfere with another man’s free will is not the same as God intervening to eradicate evil.
But are you now dodging my question:
Would you have God take away every married man’s free will to have an affair so it did not result in needless suffering for his wife and kids?
@vivify saidThe No True Scotsman logical fallacy doesn't work on you, and that's understable. Maybe when the other Christian posters turn up, they'll offer some other explanations.
There's nothing more to discuss here. No one has an answer as to why white Christians are such vile racists, or why they've oppressed pretty much every group of people on earth.

@vivify saidSounds here like you’re the racist.

"You shall know them by their fruits".
Clearly, white Christian "fruit" is disgusting and rotten.
You’re taking the behavior of a small fraction of a group and using it to smear the entire group.
That’s what racists do.
