So God’s will has parameters? It has limits?
What good outcome happens with a six year old who has terminal cancer or the tsunami that killed 260,000 people in Indonesia?Now when bad or good things happen Christians look to god, they give thanks and there faith also tells them that god is in charge, this means be calm and keep your faith that no matter how bad it gets, there is a reason and if you keep that faith you will see a good outcome eventually and there is a reason behind it, even though god probably didn't literally make the event happen.
The point of the debate is not to change your opinion, but develop mine.Again if you are just trying to change my mind here, you are wasting both our time.

I believe there is a divine creator. One who just allows people to get cancer, raped, murdered, or anything else. Why’s that so hard to believe that if there’s a creator he has to make everything sunshine and rainbows or surely he can’t exist? Never bought into that BS where oh surely a god can’t allow humans to do bad things or get cancer stricken.
Whether it fits our description of what a god can do or can’t do . If you were god you could set the rules and either allow your children to break them or force them to follow them and only think / do good things. That’s not how our god is. He will allow people to steal, kill, and let cancer kill. Ya. You can argue that’s not a loving god. But you can’t argue there’s no god
I was hoping we can stick to talking about Trump. But oh wellBLM (Brock Lesnar Matters)

Trump and Biden have the same amount of God/ Jesus / Holy Spirit in them. One is no more Godlier than the other.

Republican Challenge:
Go to work tomorrow and tell a person of color to “go back to the country they came from” Find a co-worker with disabilities and mock them for it. Grab a co-worker by the pussy. Call a less attractive co-worker a “horse face” and a “dog” See if you can make it until lunch before you are fired.
If you aren’t willing to do this, you obviously realize that this isn’t acceptable behavior for an adult.
So why would you elect a president who did all of these things and more on camera?Air Force Veteran 1976 - 1999 - Cannabis Enthusiast since the 1960's

If the god you're talking about is the christian god, then yes, the belief is that god makes every event in life happen. That god is supposed to be all powerful, all present, all knowing, he knows everything that has ever happened and everything that ever will happen. That god doesn't give free will or choice if he already knows the outcome.
Just what stage did your god need to set to give a child cancer so they can die a slow, painful death? So do children die of cancer because they didn't keep their faith? Or perhaps their parents didn't keep their faith?
We'd have to ask a six year old who died from cancer or an Indonesian who died in a tsunami? How do we ask them about their faith?
I already know the answer to that question. There was no good outcome for those dead people...they're dead. Could there be any "good" that came from those deaths? Maybe, depends on how you define a good outcome. Suppose the parents of the six year old hated the kid and wished it was never born. It looks like god could answer prayer and he works in mysterious ways. Or $hlt just happens, no god needed. $hlt has been happening to humans for a couple of million years before anyone ever heard of a god. The same $hlt is still happening."It is my own fault for replying in a smith thread." deadwoodgregg

Trump Derangement Syndrome is a pejorative Trump supporters call folks for thinking Trump is a fascist. By defining their grievance with a nothing word, there is no way to argue it. It's the same as name calling, but it seems many feel it carries more weight as it sounds sorta medical.
