OK, then look at the fruits. The father lost his faith, and Christians who hear the story are finding their faith challenged by it. Would God want to point people to other ways, truths or lights than Christ? Or does this sound more like the work of a demon?

God allows demons to act in order to try us like gold in the furnace.

The father lost his faith, and Christians who hear the story are finding their faith challenged by it ...

Nonsense. People have their faith challenged every day, if they are living life at all.

Those who have real faith are not afraid to challenge everything they have been taught, everything that they have been told is sacred, and trust God to show them the truth.

Those who have no faith cannot fathom God's power and realm beyond the narrow-minded teachings of their own collective. To inflict such mental containment on others is truly evil.

As Thomas Jefferson said, "I have sworn upon the alter of God, eternal hostility toward every form of tyranny over the mind of man."

The fact that the father lost faith is the fathers’ problem, not God’s.

What does this story say about abortion? He chose his parents - what if his parents didn’t choose him?

That just means abortion is evil - regardless of the parents’ “choice”.

For what it’s worth, my wife, who is a devote Christian, and who has a doctoral degree, thinks this story is b/s. I’m not sure.
