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

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.

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

That sounds like kindergarten theology. I am pretty sure the common theological premise is that by definition, everything is Gods plan.
