“I just put her on nearly the same level as the FLDS with her quick assertion of what “God wants”.”
Let’s say your child was involved in a hit and run.
It was severe, but the doctors performed tirelessly and did the best they could.
Your child is in intensive care, and a coma, but miraculously she recovers, and is quickly healthy again.
Your wife (or husband) tells your daughter, “God wanted you to live”.
Would you then make the same incrimination of your spouse?
No, not in that situation. “God wanted you to live”, so ergo sum, you do. If He didn’t, you would have died.
But , if the comment were “God wanted you to live so that you could become a nun to serve him in the Church”, I would view it differently.
There is a generic quality to your hypothetical that doesn’t get to me the way that say... “God hates faggots, so you will go to Hell” or “God wouldn’t want that - trust me, I know” does.
Or am I making any sense here?
