Isn’t everything that happens a part of God’s plan? I do not understand the thought process of most Christians.

And that’s basically it!
So is cancer, pedophilia, child starvation and the actual literal devil. What's their point?
that’s cause they want end times to happen in their lifetimes.. sheep
I want out of here. Trump has never been to church, and when asked, couldn't name his favorite Bible verse. He is and has always been a narcissistic fraud. I wish I could leave this country.
See everyone one at the protest on the 18th.
21% of U.S. adults are fully illiterate. Another 33% can't read better than an elementary school student.
USA!!!

Poll conducted by the PRRI cited in this article is legit. The CEO of PRRI Robert P. Jones writes in a related article, "With its roots in Western Europe, Roman Catholicism has a long history of colonialism, particularly in Africa and the global South, where centuries of atrocities against Black and brown peoples were justified by the conviction that white Christians were God’s chosen means of “civilizing” the world."
Although I didn't closely scrutinize the article OP linked, I would guess that it has equal journalistic integrity.
I get where people are coming from with a kneejerk, "religion is bad!" reaction, but honestly that's not very helpful. The world is always going to have a pluralism of beliefs, and many of those beliefs are going to be of a religious nature. You're never going to get rid of religion, so may as well be realistic about what can change.
Being that virtually all of the most harmful things being done in the name of religion, in the United States, can be traced to a subset of Christian factions, it's more helpful overall to identify and promote the forms of Christianity that are progressive instead. A groups true worst enemy is their nearest neighbor.
They have god mixed up with satan
Actually I was thinking of the Lucky Charms leprochan.
Well god coming straight down from heaven and fucking your fish could also be apart of his plan, since to Christian’s nothing matters but gestures vaguely gods will, no matter the consequences of complicity.
Everything is just “oh well, whatever happens happens because god said so”
A third of Americans are incredibly fucking dumb.
More than that actually. There's more than one way to be dumb. Religion isn't the ONLY way.
This is why we are completely and totally fucked.
Hopefully, they start buying land and building a compound in French Guyana.
"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.
It’s also gods plan that the Middle East nukes themselves so Jesus will return and the rest of us will go to heaven. Except for Hindus and the Chinese and a ton of other people.
Yeah. Everyone assuming this is some sort of praise or support of the current presidency really don't know how that phrase is normally used. Half the time I heard that phrase it was in a "wtf is going on right now"/"this shit sucks" sort of way.
Shitty clickbait title is shitty.
But confirmation bias is real, judging from this comment section populated by the incurious.
In my experience growing up evangelical, it’s as much a plea as it is an assertion.
The more I see shit like this, the more I ask myself, why are we trying to save this?
- Our legal system has been broken since it's creation.
- Our representation has never represented us.
- Peace is an imaginary thing, at best.
- Calling any country our allies, is a joke.
So what is the point of all this shit?
The point is that America has managed to make a lot of guys richer than God by allowing them to exploit millions of people
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.
His plan sucks because he made Pedos billionaires. Wait, god might he a pedo. It's his plan afterall. Always watching you like a creep. Dude fits pedo logic 100%. Worshiping pedos, sounds on track for religious nutts.
Mary was only around 14, too
This. Trump literally fits the description of an "antichrist" (lowercase; one of a type) and many of the traits of the definite article (the specific Antichrist) described in the Bible.
But then they're not expecting to be the ones deceived by an antichrist.
Funny how god wants exactly what they want - eh?
Of course Trump is part of Azathoth's plan.
Aaaaaaand this sort of shit is why I’ve resigned myself to the fact that we’re not recovering from this, and that I need to get the fuck out.
Probably too late now. It takes years to get out legitimately. The cult is going to turn America into whitemanistan rapidly now that the foundations are laid.
Well I mean the similarities to the antichrist are uncanny. I can understand the feeling.
That's because a third of Americans believe everything that happens is part of God's plan because he controls everything good and bad.
