god's mysterious ways [View all]

Boy did I piss off some FB posters in a thread about a woman who was bungee jumping off a bridge in Africa over a river. The cord broke, she slammed into the water causing serious injuries, she floated down stream and almost drowned before being rescued by someone from the shore. But the Jesus freaks couldn't help themselves and had to talk about how god was protecting her by preventing crocodiles from tearing her apart. This was a section of the river without crocs normally, but the click bait headline was about croc infested waters.

My response was snarky, but basically, maybe god could have made sure the bungee didn't break instead. Boy did that set some people off. "Oh the blasphemy!" I am damned to hell, this is the worst sin in god's eyes. LOL.

My last response was probably too much, but I couldn't resist. Basically laughing and saying how ridiculous it is that their all knowing all powerful invisible sky fairy knew the cord would break and did nothing to prevent this woman's horrible injuries, but she should be thankful that she wasn't torn apart by crocodiles because of the lord.

Too much?
