Does god have a plan?

If yes: does anything go against god's will?

If yes: Murder, rape, etc. are god's will.


Another version is this: God decides when each person will be born and when they will die. People say 'it was his time' or 'it wasn't his time'. Therefore, babies born of rape, are god's will (as some republicans have said) and people who are killed (holocaust, anyone?) were also slain by god's will. This doesn't make it right, it just proves that god is a total [insert obscene descriptor here].

Consider our treatment of each other and other species when you reply (hint: consider the meat and pest control aisles of the supermarket, and that we freely kill other creatures which we didn't even create merely because they're tasty or annoy us).

Huh? I thought god granted us dominion over the earth. I can't remember who said it, but someone did.

Second, many people do think it's OK to an extent. Consider abortion. Those who are for a woman's right to choose abortion generally don't grant a third party the right to force the woman to have an abortion.

EXACTLY! God created the first two humans, let humanity expand outward for millenia, and then claimed ownership of it all! Wasn't there a parable about reaping what you have sown? I guess that's just more christian hypocrisy, then.
