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.
That is convenient. This way you can explain anything you like. I think, Sam Harris said "it's like playing table tennis without a net".
That's the point of religion. Providing some kind of psychological comfort by giving answers to questions we can't answer.
But we can answer the question of why god allows bad things to happen: god isn't real.
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.
The Allegory of the Cave suites nicely with religious beliefs.
"Keep watching the shadows. There is nothing but the shadows. If someone says anything different they are wrong and you are correct. Feels good to be correct. Be correct with us."
Being incorrect about things on a consistent and constant basis can be disheartening if you're insecure. They are wrong about so many things all the time that it's a nice change of pace to be right. Even if that means accepting "Noble Lies".

Which god we talking here? Not the muslim or christian ones for sure.
The true American religion. The Church of Capitalism.
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.
That's why we must conquer heaven and kill god before his cancerous existence spreads any further.
Also hell too, but they are not the main enemy. Heaven and God are. They are the real monsters.
A third of Americans are delusional
Have these people read the part in the Bible that talks about the Antichrist??
Most of them can't read.
If those people could read they would be very upset.
It's part of a concept of a plan. Great flood, plagues of Egypt, ...
So...God wants to punish America?
finally a rational decision
What if it's a punishment from God for doing evil crap like supporting genocide?
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.

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.
Fuck that asshole god
Given that only 25% of US citizens accept evolution theory as truth, I'm not surprised.

Bioshock Infinite is a documentary.
Seriously, American style Christianity is just as awful as DAESH.
Their god wants to destroy the US?
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.
Which god? Humans have made thousands of them
I don't care what the bible says
A third of Americans believe in a god that really, really hates them? Cool.
