Or
"I have faith that god sees the bigger plan".

I'm sick of hearing these when talking to religious people. What is the best response to these statements?

Helen Keller - who was born deaf, dumb and blind - said:

"I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something; and because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do something that I can do."

No one who is born without such disabilities should feign helplessness or claim a task too great if they have not actually applied themselves to it. The eagerness of so many Christians to acquiesce to God, to abdicate all initiate and to feign humility is what I despise more than anything else about that religion. Luckily there are also examples of admirable Christians.
