I want out of here. Trump has never been to church, and when asked, couldn't name his favorite Bible verse. He is and has always been a narcissistic fraud. I wish I could leave this country.

See everyone one at the protest on the 18th.

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

A third of Americans are mentally disabled

[–] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Hey man you shouldn't insult disabled people like that.

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."

Funny how god wants exactly what they want - eh?

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.

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?

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

"God's plan"?

This God guy fucking sucks at planning

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 5 points 1 week ago

Part of God's plan of judgement

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.

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!

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

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

The true satanists.

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

We have already established by means of the last election that have the voter base it to stupid for their own good. This just cements the fact.

Of course Trump is part of Azathoth's plan.

Well god coming straight down from heaven and fucking your fish could also be apart of his plan, since to Christian’s nothing matters but gestures vaguely gods will, no matter the consequences of complicity.

Everything is just “oh well, whatever happens happens because god said so”
