Now we have to trot out the battered spouse resp- . . . I mean Christian apologist stock answer: Everything was perfect before Adam and Eve sinned. There was no cancer or disease until after the Fall. We are a sinful, fallen species and we deserve everything we have coming to us. Besides, little girls with cancer can be a good thing since we can be chastened and made stronger in our walk with God through our and others' suffering.
In other words, it's our fault. God didn't mean to hit us, but sometimes we make him so angry (seeking forbidden knowledge of good and evil was what really pushed him over the edge) that we have to just accept our guilt for making him hit us. He loves us . . . I just know he does. He says so.
No, please don't call anyone. I'm alright. I just walked into the door. [chuckles uncomfortably] I can be so clumsy sometimes. I'm ok, really.
Look . . . I have to go. I need to have dinner ready on time. So . . . thanks for the call, but -- you know.
Really, I'm ok. I just give it to Jesus to fix. Oh, I think I hear him pulling up. Seriously, I have to go . . .
