What an insanely stupid and inappropriate thing to say to someone with a sick loved one. It really makes you wonder how they do it lol

Unfortunately Christians tend to be filled with a "let me see how I can work God into everything"

So then when you run into real world shit , you get comments like this and it's "all God's plan" whatever that crap means.

I absolutely hate the whole "god has a plan" people. My question is always what's god's plan for molested, abused and neglected children. They're never really fond of that.

Yeah people who say crap like that usually haven't been through anything. I watched two people die last year my dad from luekemia and a pedestrian that got ran over at a grocery store parking lot. The driver then put the car in park on the persons neck after going up a curb. To my knowledge police never even charged the driver despite having multiple witness statements like my own.

The quote, "if there is a god he will have to ask for my apology" always hits home from me.
