This was a very subtle transition of understanding. When I was secular, I believed that people were responsible for their own actions but when I became a Christian this was slowly replaced with a new and more dangerous form of understanding, that God is to blame for everything.
I found that most people that call themselves Christian follow this understanding. How it works is simple:
- If something bad happens to Christians, then:
- God is testing you
- It’s a blessing from God in disguise
- God has a plan, and this is part of it, (He’s Mysterious)
- God is closing a door so he can open another door
- God knows the future and is preventing a larger tragedy
- God is taking someone home to spare them
-
If something bad happens to Non-Christians, then:
- It’s Gods wrath
- God is sending a warning to change minds
- God removed someone because they are evil
