She has just had a 5 hour operation and is recovering well. She gave thanks to god and all the people who prayed for her... no mention of the skills of the doctors who saved her life.
While I am glad she is recovering, I think her thanks are misplaced
How come her fucking "god" let her get shot in the first place?
Exactly, here in the states we had a hostage standoff where a PTSD former soldier, Nam vet if I am correct, hijacked a school bus, murdered the driver and kidnapped a autistic kid and ended up on his property in an underground bunker with the kid hostage, last week it started. The standoff ended yesterday, the kid is ok.
BUT, clip after clip in the news had pastors and society members saying "We are praying for the kid", and then after he was rescued "Thank god"
I am like WHAT THE FUCK, what about the school bus driver who was murdered?
No one is attacking Malala personally and we are happy she survived, just like the autistic kid held hostage. But the logic sucks as to why these people want to claim a god is involved. It simply makes no sense.
