Pat and John sit down for an episode of office hours to respond to 5 questions from a confirmation student.  The questions/objections are: 1) Why create an entire universe for only one planet of life and wait 13 billion years to do so? 2) Why did Jesus ask his disciples to leave their families behind; why not select people without a duty to their spouse?

3) Sure the Church isn’t perfect, but they started hundreds of wars based on religion and killed many dissidents from the faith.

4) Why wait 280,000ish years to send Jesus and not spread Judaism outside of Israel?

5) Why torture people for all eternity in hell when you could just not create hell?
