      America has an individualism problem and well fuck me running if Christians just happen to be the absolute worst when it comes to the rights of others being of no consequence.

    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?

    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

        Right. But I was responding to a headline about people who believe that the devil does literally (as written) exist, and is part of their God’s plan.

    If this is Yahweh’s planning, then they are in dire need of a pink slip. We should try hiring on Cthulu or Ahura Mazda instead.

            I think you could just say control of the masses as the worst thing that has happened. Slavery is part of that control.

        Religion can be used to rationalize slavery. So there.

          Religion was used to justify it, and it was used to make the slaves more docile as well. Double edged sword. But then it turned to a source of strength as they emancipated.

          It’s complex. Humans are not going to give up religion, they’re just not. We should work to make the religions better if we want things to get better, and that means supporting the good religious people so they can affect change.
