[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is so hard. I am an atheist but my best friend was deeply religious (in a progressive/social justice oriented kind of way). She gave birth to a severely disabled child who will never speak, never be fed through anything but a G tube and will ever live independently. One year later, my friend's healthy, young dad unexpectedly died from a brain aneurysm. She had a complete crisis of faith that has not abated almost 9 years later. How can anyone say that this was god's plan?[/quote] Perhaps people say it's god's plan because they can't think of anything else to say. As for your friend, 9 years is a long time to be in a crisis state. Is there something in Christianity about God having a plan? Maybe God doesn't have a plan. Maybe there is no God. Either one would be better than thinking God had set her and her family up for such misery.[/quote]
