Which god we talking here? Not the muslim or christian ones for sure.
I mean for a religious person everything should be god's plan, right?
No, no, only the good parts.
Not good, just the convenient parts.
That is logical. Practically, though, this is used for justification of selected events. If a person confronts with something he doesn't like, e. g. bugs in his home, he will actively try to change it.
Doesn't mean they have to be passive. They could say God did this to provoke me to do something against this.
I mean it's similar to the question why god allows all this suffering and evil in the world. I think the common answer is to test us and to give us the opportunity to do good or something like that.
America has a Christian Nationalist problem.
America has an individualism problem and well fuck me running if Christians just happen to be the absolute worst when it comes to the rights of others being of no consequence.

Oh I’m aware it always has. I remember learning in grade school, about the Puritans coming to America and being told it was a good thing….
(Spoiler: it wasn’t)
But it’s getting worse every day.
Pathetic fake fucking Christians
Pathetic fucking Christians is more like it.
Its a fucking death cult.
A blood death cult that got its start with child sacrifices...
But god is good...lol
Its insane to me that people can't see this. Sure, it has over a thousand years of good PR, but the evil shit isn't hidden. Its all in the bible.
TIL one in three Americans suffer severe mental health disorders.
At least one in three. Theres some in the democratic party and independents as well. Its probably at least half.
Unfun fact! Carter tried to establish community mental health care centers across America, but Reagan immediately undid it.
Same thing for solar panels. When carter left, he installed the first solar panel on the white house and said 'this will either mark a new beginning or a path untaken'. Reagan took it down.
Now China is kicking everyone's ass in solar panels. And Trump hates renewables so much that he wants to shut down a windfarm in New England that is almost finished, had already cost a lot of money, would employ thousands, and provide a fuckload of cheap electricity to a lot of people.
God's plan also includes deadly plagues, global floods, and turning people into pillars of salt.
Capitalists all raise an eyebrow at the idea of all that free salt.
A third of Americans are delusional
Have these people read the part in the Bible that talks about the Antichrist??
Imagine how stupid the average person is and now realize that half of them are dumber than that.
That's a global percentage. I'm pretty sure that the United States is exclusively populated by the lower 15%
Daily reminfer that 33% of the US is crazy, and the majority hate Trump.
So...God wants to punish America?
finally a rational decision
It's part of a concept of a plan. Great flood, plagues of Egypt, ...
Unironically, those people shouldn’t get to vote. If it’s all a part of gods plan then they should let Jesus take the wheel with the votes too.
well, duh?
if you believe in God and you believe God has a plan, then this is part of that plan
how many Christians don't believe God has a plan?
it was God's plan for Charlie Kirkkk to die publicly. it was God's plan for all those school children to die. it is God's plan to abuse and murder non-whites in the US. it is God's plan to have the wealthy and powerful abuse young women and for the masses to protect them
They wouldn't know "gods plan" if it smacked them in the ass. They're literally worshipping the closest analogue to the Antichrist. These people are violently clueless.
"God's plan" is literally whatever is happening right now. Got in a car crash? God's plan. Narrowly missed a car crash? God's plan. Cat wakes you at 6am for breakfast? God's plan. This whole comment? God's plan.
Isn’t everything that happens a part of God’s plan? I do not understand the thought process of most Christians.
Everything they agree with is part of God's plan. Everything they don't is the work of the devil. When you can control what is "seen" as God's plan, you can control the population. And anyone who disagrees is under the influence of the devil and an enemy. Basic cult mentality.
Not sure what's worse. The article or the AI generated nightmare fuel picture.
I believe this actually happened...
Supporters lay their hands on President Donald Trump as they pray for him at the conclusion of a news conference in February 2020 (Getty Images)
What if it's a punishment from God for doing evil crap like supporting genocide?
Bioshock Infinite is a documentary.
Seriously, American style Christianity is just as awful as DAESH.
"It's God's plan" is the phrase people use to comfort themselves when disasters happen, so I guess that tracks regarding Trump’s rule.
There is no god,( a fact even more than a 3rd of americans would disagree with) but if the magic man would exist and after all this time decided to finally do some good, placing this clown at the head of the most destructive country on the planet would be a good move.
Be assured that THIS Christian who actually read the Bible knows that all of these people will rot in Hell when they die. A lot of repenting will be required to side step that one truth.
So is cancer, pedophilia, child starvation and the actual literal devil. What's their point?
Given that only 25% of US citizens accept evolution theory as truth, I'm not surprised.
