Have these people read the part in the Bible that talks about the Antichrist??

It's part of a concept of a plan. Great flood, plagues of Egypt, ...

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

Not sure what's worse. The article or the AI generated nightmare fuel picture.

What if it's a punishment from God for doing evil crap like supporting genocide?

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.

Funny how god wants exactly what they want - eh?

[–] pachrist@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months 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?

I don't really know if that means much? Putting aside how people actually feel at the idea of "God's plan", it broadly boils down to: "Did it happen? Then it was part of God's plan."

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

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

Part of God's plan of judgement

[–] frustrated_phagocytosis@fedia.io 5 points 2 months ago

Some of those believe in a vengeful god and that the plan is wipe out humanity. I would not argue with them on the outcome, just the means of getting there.

Fuck that asshole god

[–] Tigeroovy@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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.

This really doesn’t speak to quality or satisfaction. If they accidentally drowned their own child, they’d call it god’s plan.

religion, in the way of progress since the invention of agriculture

[–] mhague@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

If you ask a Christian "Do you think God personally..." and they answer "No." then how are they a Christian? It's weird how around 66% of people say they are Christian but they don't all believe the part where God is revealed by history unfolding. All things are part of God's plan... but not that!

[–] LORDSMEGMA@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago

"God's plan"?

This God guy fucking sucks at planning
