Or worse: "it's all part of God's plan!" every time something bad happens. "So... God's a sadist, or what? Cuz his plan is shit."
God did ruin Job’s life over a bet with Satan so maybe this is less of a plan and more of a downward spiral gambling addiction
Or the related one: "I'd like to thank God for coming through this surgery."
What about the doctors, nurses, and various other staff members?
As a surgical tech, I have to bite my tongue when this pops up. Like... bitch, your god sent you to the OR in the first place - you should be pissed!
Hear me out on this: God is creating jobs for the community. If there weren't stupid people around to get hurt, the smart ones wouldn't have anything to do!
I hate this phrase so, so much. Sometimes babies die within days of being born with no chance of getting baptized. Don't people realize that the implication of this is that God is dooming them to purgatory just to spite the parents? Do they not Pealize how fucked up that sounds?
Or he sucks so bad at planning that he can't make people happy without also hurting others.
"But happiness would be meaningless without sadness to compare it to!"
Bitch were you never happy before you learned what cancer was? Did you start enjoying life the moment you figured out what rape is? "Boy I sure am glad I'm not being raped today! Much happier than I would be if I didn't know there was an alternative!"
or when someone gets the benefit of excellent medical care and thanks God for it. ugh. A lifetime of dedication by the doctors and scientists that brought you this cure? A distant second place.
