Was a great day where we had @astroboysoup run us through the C4 marketing proposal, @ShugaAyomi talk
About @CardanoBounties and how they are going to work with us at Discover Cardano to help with Talent Acquisition journey from
Our Morrocco pavilion work last month.
We also gave attendees a tour of a potential Cardano conference venue for early next year which was very well received! More to come next week on that!
The claim that the God of the Bible is evil is not just wrong, it is self-defeating, philosophically incoherent, and collapses the moment you actually read the book you are critiquing.
First, if you are going to prosecute the God of the Bible, you must engage the God the Bible actually presents, not the straw deity of internet atheism.
The Bible’s God is Trinitarian, self-sufficient, existing in loving relationship within himself before creation, lacking nothing, and needing no one. James says every good thing, sleep, pleasure, beauty, laughter, comes from him. That framing is is crucial.
If “God is evil” what is the comparative moral standard. What do you compare him to? If the universe is purposeless matter, then morality is just your nervous system firing preferences. You are just filing a complaint with no court, no law, and no standing.
If however your moral standard is real and binding across all people, then congratulations. You have just accidentally argued for the existence of a moral lawgiver. The accusation is either incoherent or it proves God exists.
But to go deeper, the terror of a needy, lonely, wounded God making capricious decisions is a terror we can rationalize since is just human pathology at cosmic scale. That is explainable.
What should make us pause is the terror of the God who lacks nothing, who gains nothing from punishing anyone and who was complete and satisfied before you drew your first breath. When THAT God judges, it cannot be ego. He has nothing to win.
Which means when the biblical God acts in severity, it is because justice is real and he is its embodiment. The atheist is prosecuting a deity that does not exist in the text they are quoting.
And who even has the right to determine what a people deserve? Who has the sight to weigh the full arc of a civilization’s corruption, the downstream of unchecked evil, the futures that never happen because judgment didn’t come?
The critic sits in a courtroom with a fraction of the evidence, and demands the verdict is overturned and that is baseless epistemic arrogance.
But most crucially, every other religion’s God stays hidden; conveniently invisible, and safe from examination. The God of the Bible, uniquely, when accused, enters the dock.
He becomes human. He submits to the conditions of his own creation, walks in it for thirty three years, and is examined at close range by people who wanted to destroy him. Roman judges, religious prosecutors, crowds, betrayers etc. All hostile witnesses with murderous intent scrutinising his every word and deed.
And the verdict returned by even his enemies: “I find no fault in this man”. The most morally examined life in human history belongs to the accused. You want to meet the God of the Bible? You already can. His name is Jesus. Judge him there, on the ground, in the flesh, and then come back with your accusation.
The concept of evil applied to this God is a man essentially standing in a house built by someone else, breathing air he did not make, using a moral vocabulary he cannot justify, and pointing at the architect and calling him wicked. The irony is hilarious and the case collapses, because the God being accused already answered it in person.
I’m not surprised people post nonsense like this. I’m surprised anyone is moved by it.
The robe, the beard, the prayer posture, the diet. You think Christianity is a costume contest? You think Jesus came to establish the most culturally authentic Middle Eastern lifestyle brand?
Christianity is a diagnosis. Not of your habits, but of you. Your nature, your essence, the thing you were born with. You came into this world tilted away from God, not because someone taught you to be, but because you are born of man, born of flesh, born of a will that curves instinctively toward itself. That is not a cultural or ritual problem. That is a YOU problem.
And no prophet who bowed correctly ever fixed a nature.
Jesus doesn’t say dress like me. He says you must be born again. Born of the Spirit! Not reformed or repositioned. Regenerated, because what you have cannot be fixed, only replaced.
I don’t care about the robe or the beard. I need saving from myself. From this body that knows what is right and chooses otherwise anyway. From this flesh that is, left alone, its own god.
That is the question Islam never answers. Why do I do what I hate? Who rescues me from this?
Paul whom you Muslims hate asked it and offered Jesus as the answer, the only answer.

There are experiences one shares, and I automatically know this one has encountered God, when you encounter God it oozes put, and most time in the little things
One of the more interesting parts of early fatherhood is watching your child grow his own personality and will.
My 4-month-old son is becoming his own man and nowhere is this more obvious than in how he now chooses his times.
Every time I place him on the bed to sleep it becomes a whole event. He lifts his head, gets on his arms like a lizard, and just stares. I push his head down softly, he raises it again. I push it down, he raises it again. I usually give up. He has decided.
And honestly it frustrates me because how convenient would it be if he slept when I chose, sat still when I chose, stayed calm when I chose. I sustain this child alongside his mom. He has contributed nothing to his own survival. And yet I have to readjust to his orbit.
One evening in the middle of that frustration I just said out loud, Father Lord what is this. And the Lord laid it on my heart quietly: this is you. This is all of you.
And when it landed it landed heavy.
Because God does not have a partial claim on us the way I have a partial claim on my son. I feed my son and I pay his bills. God made the laws that hold your atoms together. In Him we live and move and have our being, Acts 17. Not past tense, but present continuous. Your next heartbeat is not self-funded.
And still we lift our heads. Again and again. He pushes us gently toward rest and we get back on our arms and stare at Him defiantly. And He does not withdraw the oxygen. He does not pull the breath as leverage. He just continues to sustain the very creatures resisting Him, with the very strength they are using to resist Him.
Any tyrant can dominate weakness. What God does is something different entirely. He holds immature, stubborn, ungrateful wills without crushing them. And then, when the resistance produced its full cost, He absorbed it Himself on a cross.
My son taught me that God’s patience is not passive. It is the most active and costly choice He makes every single day.

…“God is in the skybox. He is watching millions of people feel things they cannot justify about eleven men and a ball. He watched a beloved son of his, a defender in sky blue, make the worst pass of his season and carry its weight home. He watched Bukayo Saka stand in front of a camera last night after years of ridicule and call out every person who doubted him, and He was proud of his dear son. He watched my dad go to bed peacefully last night, perhaps grinning to himself, saying there you go, Faithfulness and Covenant, you should have stayed with me. And He watched me sulk to bed in playful bitterness at the same result, already gearing up to hate-watch Arsenal in Budapest on the 30th of May.”
