I go to a Catholic school, and recently, my classmates have been drifting away from the Faith. Many have told me they're not sure if they *really* believe in God. None have ever been serious about the Faith. A boy was confiding in me about how he feels like, the Christian religion is a "pyramid scheme." He feels like God is "lazy." I had no idea how to respond.
Because we know God isn't lazy. But how do I explain this to another?
In what way does he feel like God is lazy? Does he think God just made everything and left it to work itself out? Does he think God allows suffering because He's too busy for us? What approach you take will depend on what he thinks specifically about God being "lazy".
