The Lord works in mysterious ways, his wonders to behold!

But if you do have trouble sleeping, it's nice to know that you can pray on it, and god will reward you with an abusive boyfriend to put you in the hospital, thereby giving you a well-earned rest.  And, of course, the opportunity to pray for more fun stuff.

I hope the TV personality above gets through this--no one deserves breast cancer.  But maybe she'll find some sense during what will hopefully be a successful recovery, and share that with the world, instead of telling us what a nice sort of terrorist her god is, not like those other terrorists at those other houses of worship.

The Human Brain, isn't it a wondrous thing! It's absolutely amazing what we can make ourselves believe and thankfully "NOT" believe.

I am with you...you are glad that a fairy tale gave you cancer? What? I did the same thing...just shook my head and face palmed! It makes no sense..its called coincidence people.

The logic is that she would have gotten the cancer no matter what, because crap things happen in life.  So she is thankful that she didn't get pregnant, because if she had, life would have been way more complicated, having cancer and being pregnant at the same time.  In her mind, God was saving her a lot of heartache and trouble (and possibly a baby with mental/physical problems, or having to deal with a miscarriage).  In her mind, God was taking care of her by not letting her get pregnant.  Because the cancer was there, whether she liked it or not.  She doesn't think God gave her cancer, but allowed it to happen for some reason.  Christians believe that God lets them go through trials in order to learn or be an example for others....really, it's all part of the greater good.

 

I dunno, I guess I can see where she's coming from because I used to have the same frame of mind.  But I can see how it would be confusing if you've never believed it.

So God, who could eradicate cancer any time if he wanted to, chooses to give 1 woman cancer so she can make other women aware who will then need to rely on the medical community. If that's the case, God is either a sick bastard or really stupid.
