    My dad is of the mindset that it’s all gods plan and we just don’t understand it. So you know the standard it’s bad, but it’s gods plan because don’t understand it.

      I’m an agnostic Christian and that cop out excuse always pisses me off when I hear it. Like God gave people free will no? And people’s actions demonstrably caused this crisis? So maybe this is man’s mess and god is shaking his head at our inability to clean up after ourselves. But they really just want to ignore the issue while trying to maintain intellectual credibility.

          I was raised Christian and I guess you could say I’m hopeful of an afterlife but also acknowledge that I’m a mere mortal and to try and claim absolute knowledge of anything beyond this reality is inherently obtuse and should be avoided. So like I try to love thy neighbour but don’t buy into all the all the mystical stuff 100%
