Time for another religious rant! Ah, can't you just feel gawd's love?
This time let's focus on all those who cry about following "gawd's plan." Fundies yell about people not "following gawd's plan" due to committing one action or another. Oh, he's gay- he's not following gawd's plan. Oh, she got an abortion- she's not following gawd's plan. I mean, first of all there's the normal argument: What if them doing these things was in gawd's plan all along?
"Oh no" they argue, "They are committing atrocious sins against gawd. They will be punished for not obeying gawd's mighty law."
But let's step away for a minute and look at the idea of time. "Time" (if thought of as physical, and not merely as the figment of our imaginations that it is) is constant, in a line. Something that happens in the past can never be changed. It will always be there, and the effects of what happens from it will also forever continue. Like a wave that never quite hits shore.
So thus one action that occurred in the past, for instance, someone not following gawd's plan, will always have happened, and the "waves" of its wake will continue to live on in the actions of others... Meaning, if that horrid mortal sin had never happened, what's happening today would never have happened either. If your grandfather never met your grandmother, you would never have been born. It's such an obvious and simple concept. Any (non-fundie) fool should understand.
That one flaw in gawd's plan happened. And thus, every action afterward (as the entire future was affected, essentially) was also against gawd's plan... since it wouldn't have occurred if the first person didn't go against it! If that's so, then NONE of us could be going against "gawd's plan", since our very existance would be against it in the first place.
Oh, but maybe gawd changed everything and fixed it to make it all better?
Well then what's the fucking point in following his damn plan in the FIRST place?? Sky daddy'll just make it all better, so we're free to fuck up what he wants as much as we desire to.
There's no way to win with that pathetic excuse. Anyway, who says that having an atheist change to a believer isn't really against gawd's plan anyway? After all, it's so mysterious and above our intellect....
