    God has a plan and He’s in control. Until he isn’t, then it’s evil! But just trust in God’s plan. Unless this is the evil plan? Oh no!

      It really is bizarre. Faith doesn’t bring about certainty, and if god working mysterious ways, the MO is basically to just roll with it and accept everything as being part of gods plan regardless. Fuck, I wasted so many productive years to this religion’s ambivalence and apathy.

        Ignoring plans and religions what option do we have in life that isn’t “just roll with it”.

          Christianity says that your life is in gods hands, which removes your agency by saying that god chooses whether to make your life better or worse. But your life is not in gods hands, it’s in yours, and you are the one that can answer your own prayers and make your life better.

          God is not navigating the long arc of life on earth, we humans are, and we can’t just roll with it, we have to actively participate in its betterment.
