When I was in college, the guy who lived next to me was very Catholic. As a very not religious person, one of my favorite activities was to ask him questions that would undermine his faith in the bible.
Examples:
If the whole bible is true, but Genesis has 2 stories of creation, how can both stories be true?
According to the Bible, before Jesus died, there was no heaven. Isn't that a dick move to all the people who lived before Jesus?
Babies can't get confirmed, so they can't go to heaven. Is that not also a super dick move by God.
But my favorite question and my favorite answer that he gave was for the following question: What up with dinosaurs? His answer - Satan. That's right. Satan created dinosaurs. Why? To help destroy people's faith in Christ. I laughed for like 20 minutes. Apparently, Satan understood that we would one day come up with the theory of evolution and made sure that his bones matched ours close enough.
The thing is, after I though about it for a while. I was like, damn, I know that's totally wrong, but if it was true, that Satan is one clever dude. I mean, if he puts a big burning flame in the sky that says Jesus Was Not The Son of God, well then we totally know he is. But bones are so subtle. So if it's true, way to go Satan, because you totally got me.
(oh, and as far as the questions above. God can do anything and we can't understand it, but both stories are true. Yes, both of those two things are a dick move, but God has his reasons for anything. Which just made me wonder, why would you be into someone who's such a jerk to you. Is it like a wife who gets beaten. Is it just that we don't understand how much God loves him. That whole thing sounds kind of sad to me)
