God Has a Lot to Answer For

I'll be brief.

There are a lot of people who, when confronted with an unimaginable disaster, comfort themselves, and attempt to comfort others, by saying, in effect, that it's all part of God's Plan, and we humans can't understand how it's all for the best, but it is.

There are a lot of people who, when justifying their political opinions (especially if those opinions have to do with interfering with other people undertaking private behaviors like being gay or having abortions), say that they are doing what God told them, personally, to do.

Trouble is, often these are the same people.

So how, on one hand, do they argue that God's intentions are inscrutable, and, on the other, that they themselves have an intimate pipeline* to God's intentions?

This is Fop, goddammit.


*'Scuse the imagery.
