praise the lord when you get raped or stabbed or robbed or assaulted, disrespected and spat on....thank god for making all this happen to you......

a believer SHOULD PRAISE GOD FOR THESE HAPPENINGS because ...surely to a believer...god is the ultimate thing in the universe.......everything in the universe should obey his rules.. for he is the all seeing all knowing.......

surely nothing can happen in the universe without the consent of the lord up high....

without the lord allowing it to happen......

therefore everything

that happens is due to the lord......

so believe in him love him and thank him for having your sister or mother raped and buggered and stabbed...hold your hands in the air and praise the lord...



IN GOD WE TRUST OR....

IN ALLAH WE TRUST.....

PER-AISE! THE LORD...YEH?

I heard once that "if god wants to give you smth he wraps it in a problem"... well, I don't share this point of view...

... eye for an eye that's what I think...

there's no fool like this fool like no fool i know.

Well really, you can't just blame god for everything that happens to you. The idea that god has a plan, and that nothing deviates from that plan would have to eliminate free will. And one could hardly believe in good or evil in this case, as everything has been preordained, and would have happened regardless of intent. That would be predestination, same shit that the Calvinists believed in. Personally, i think that it sounds like people making an excuse for all the stuff that goes wrong with their lives. Problems in your life are generally your fault. Deal with it.

You cannoit blame god for that bad stuff. If I got raped, it was the other guy who did it. Out of his free will.

How can we have a free will and God have a set path for us? I think some would have the hide to say it was god's will to get raped...personally I would beat them down, until I was struck down by devine power, meaning never.
