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

America has a Christian Nationalist problem.

[–] Bakkoda@sh.itjust.works 8 points 3 hours ago

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.

[–] pachrist@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago

In case you're talking to a Christian, most believe that everything is a part of God's plan, even the things they don't like.

It's honestly more interesting that this doesn't match up with the "do you identify as a Christian" stats. It would imply that there are a significant percentage of Christians who think that Trump is outside of God's plan. Maybe God didn't have Trump in his bingo card?

The Omnissiah's blessing is DEFINITELY not with that orange sack of fleshy weakness.

[–] quick_snail@feddit.nl 23 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Daily reminfer that 33% of the US is crazy, and the majority hate Trump.

[–] null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Aparently they didnt hate him enough to vote against him.

They did.

The US is not a democracy

The winning candidate in the 2024 election was "none"

[–] itisileclerk@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago

TIL: 1/3 of the Americans are genuine morons. The more stupid the citizens, the greater the state. So, it's MAGA all the way!

Religion should be added to the DSM as a dangerous disorder.

[–] Zink@programming.dev 1 points 3 hours ago

Time for a rev bump to DSM-6.66

One third of Americans apparently qualify as fertilizer and not much else.

I guess God's plan yet again is to put pedos in charge.

As an atheist, I'm starting to believe this is the work of God too. A deeply vengeful God.

Tony. He's the shitty stepdad god who gives you a $20 and tells you to go to the store pick him up a pack of Lucky Strikes.

[–] Holytimes@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Iv never met someone I liked that smoked lucky strikes.

Checkmate, theists

[–] W3dd1e@lemmy.zip 17 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] potoo22@lemmy.world 12 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

I love how they overlook that anything the Devil does is, by definition, part of God's plan. Evil to exist is what God wants. lol

[–] rizzothesmall@sh.itjust.works 8 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] quick_snail@feddit.nl 3 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

The devil doesn't exist, literally

[–] rizzothesmall@sh.itjust.works 5 points 5 hours ago

Right. But I was responding to a headline about people who believe that the devil does literally (as written) exist, and is part of their God's plan.

Religion is the most destructive human invention.
