This is Part 2 of a 3-part Apologetics AMA (Ask Me Anything) with Joel Settecase on the Politics Server on Discord. Questions answered in this part: Why do theists credit "miracles" to God, but blame bad events and catastrophes on "free will?" [Joel's response to the free will defense answer to the problem of evil]. If Jesus is the Old Testament God, and that God commanded Israel to kill the Amalekite children, then how can Jesus be good? Why is Christianity declining in the West? If Jesus said "The Father is greater than I," then how can they be equals? [A challenge to the Doctrine of the Trinity.]
