Side note, does it count as a shower thought when it was conceived while sitting on the toilet? Do we have toilet-sitting-thoughts communities?

    Worse. It’s “attempting to understand this might cause me to question my faith, so I’m not going to even try.”

        It’s generally directed at the person doing the questioning so I think it’s more: “STFU you little twerp, how dare you attack me and my fairy stories”

          The last time my in-laws said that to me I asked them what their gods plan was when he gave their daughter leukemia.

          “to test us”

          “Well I’m glad you’re comfortable devoting your lives to someone who gives a 2 year old cancer, that’s beyond my capabilities.”

          Juuuuust enough to sound like it could be a compliment but with a clear backhand because honestly… Wtf is that logic.

        Meh. I think of this (and similar sentiments in other religions) as the equivalent of an aknowledgement of the butterfly effect, unforseen circumstances and the reality that we as humans have little control over the world and can’t see into the future.

        TLDR: maybe the baby needed to die.
