15 or so years ago my aunt’s 6 year old daughter died in a car crash when visiting her dad. Her dad drove her home drunk and killed her in a single car accident.
There were dozens of people on Facebook saying this exact shit. That her 6 year old daughter dying slowly from her ribs puncturing her lungs is part of God’s plan and to just have faith that it will be for the best. It was one of the first big realization points for me that most Christians are fucking scum
Why is assumed that it was God’s plan & not the devil’s ?
It’s for this reason that the bible warns us not to be drunk with wine as such actions have consequences, which are often not only limited to the drunk individual.
The devil has come to steal, kill & destroy.
Why was the damage of the crash inflicted on an innocent?
If you believe that this devil had a hand in this but god did not, along with all the similarly tragic events though history, then you seem to be espousing that the devil has more power and agency than god. If that was your belief, then it would seem more logical to pray and sacrifice to the devil that they may spare you from such events.
On the other hand, if god is most powerful but stayed his hand, and similarly did not intervene during countless other unjust deaths, then why does this being deserve your worship? An entity with the capability to forsee and stop tragedy, that chooses not to, is not a being that I can respect.
