You know what set off my bullshit alarm as a kid? I asked about this at the church we attended and the pastor there told me “it’s all part of his divine plan”.
You mean he PlANNED for this bad shit to happen? What an asshole.
I had a long argument the other day with a religious person about how I was saying that even accepting the premise that god exists, is all powerful and all knowing, we basically have to trust that the goal of his plan is for our benefit, rather than him using his divine powers sadistically, or just not caring about us at all. And I wouldn’t trust that his plan is benevolent based on the world.
It’s not enough to have a plan, you also have to trust him that the goal of the plan is for our benefit.
