Really the question in the thread title is one of my top pet hates, masked in a veil of profundity yet utterly vague, imprecise and impossible to answer without clarification. FFS.
sorry lol
Not the grand master plan thing. Do you think things happen for a reason based on whatever you believe? or is there no real reason.

There are reasons for everything. We may or may not be able to determine those reasons.

What one happens to believe is irrelevant.

The Sultan of Brunei is fabulously rich and a muslim. Is that a good reason for us all to convert to Islam? In the hopes that we will similarly become fabulously wealthy?
