And you may be right.  And I may be right that it has nothing to do with some big, grand divine plan for my life.  It could all just be one big coincidence.  Because once again this line of argument is asking me to ascribe the bad stuff to "bodies break down" and the good stuff to God.  If God is who Catholic Christians say he is, then he is responsible for all of it.  And I find that a hard pill to swallow.

I know someone dying of terminal cancer.  What should I tell him of God's plan?  What good is coming to his life as he slowly dies from a metasticizing cancer?  [/quote]

Christian pp would say "bodies break down." Or maybe that if he lived a full life he would become a mass murderer, so a benign God is sparing him and us from that horrible fate.

See -- god comes out the good guy again -- it just takes faith and an active imagination.[/quote]

This works for dead children, too. "Don't be sad -- little Larla probably would have grown up to be a mass murderer!"

And for those mass murderers that God doesn't strike down in infancy, there's always the corollary explanation -- "All those people Larlo shot in that theatre would have become even worse mass murderers!"

Not to mention how well His plan works with airplane crashes -- so many future mass murderers taken out all at once! It really is a blessing.[/quote]

Why don't you go pour yourself another cup of coffee.[/quote]
