God apparently wants us to have faith (if you believe the hype)
God tells us (if you believe the hype) that it's laying out the truth, then tells us to believe the truth.
It might be me but I think asking someone to believe the truth isn't really an act of faith.
Gravity makes things fall.
I believe this is true.
Simple.
It would be way more awesome if the hype decided to say this
"Hello"
"I will tell you what might be lies"
"I will tell you what IS lies"
"If you have faith you'll believe in me"
"believe what I say, but that might be lies- so don't believe it cause that's what I told you to do, but I told you that it's lies so don't believe that if you believe in me"
Maybe telling us it's all a fraud (or making the whole thing so obviously stupid that it HAS to be a fraud)
And then believing that nonsense (stuff)
is the biggest act of faith we can possibly give.
What I'm sayin is:
Maybe the flying spaghetti monster
really is God's biggest test of faith.
