>>108385067if you take the adam and eve as metaphor, which most modern christians do, then it removes original sin which defeats the need for humans to be punished which raises the question of why god let's bad things happen without intervention.
This is then met with the argument that if god fixed things you wouldn't need faith, but doesn't explain why blind faith is a virtue to be respected.
Realistically a world that knows god exists but children no longer get cancer seems better, why would faith be more important than the innate desire to keep our children alive (which is a desire we can only assume god imparted on us as part of our moral foundation).
If faith is that crucial to god, to the point that he would rather allow countless suffering of innocents, then it makes me suspect maybe our god psychically feeds off worship like a leech, he now appears more like a cosmic daemon than a benevolent deity.
