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

So is cancer, pedophilia, child starvation and the actual literal devil. What's their point?

If this is Yahweh's planning, then they are in dire need of a pink slip. We should try hiring on Cthulu or Ahura Mazda instead.

gods plan, he ultimately smites everyone in the end, or sends down his ANGELS to smite everyone.

that’s cause they want end times to happen in their lifetimes.. sheep

Religion is the most destructive human invention.

21% of U.S. adults are fully illiterate. Another 33% can't read better than an elementary school student.

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.

They have god mixed up with satan

A third of Americans are incredibly fucking dumb.

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.

Not a cult.....nope.

"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.

This is why we are completely and totally fucked.

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.

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?

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”

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.

Funny how god wants exactly what they want - eh?

Hopefully, they start buying land and building a compound in French Guyana.

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.

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.

Of course Trump is part of Azathoth's plan.
