    What do you say to a devout Christian

    who has just been diagnosed with Stage Four Rhabdomyosarcoma?

    God is good?
    Praise God?
    It's God's Will?
    This is all part of God's plan?
    You are wrong about police.

    No. You comfort and support them.
    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

    Oh.

    So to be clear, those phrases aren't comforting?

    Were you asked for an explanation? Is it Helena's job to explain human suffering? Focus more on your friend rather than your ignorant hatred for Christianity. What a $#@!ed up thread.

    What reason would you have for stating the thread is $#@!ed up? I think it's a valid line of questioning considering much of what one could expect to hear from some Christians about a variety of topics.

    Actually, I have heard people say "This is all part of God's plan". I always cringe when I hear that.

    I would say that God does not choose how long any person may live--a person with an incurable disease is not likely to live for long--and He should not, therefore, be blamed for anyone's (perhaps premature) death.

    Note: I would say exactly the same thing if some very good fortune were to befall a Christian: God did not fix it so that, say, the correct lottery numbers would come up, thereby making that Christian a multi-millionaire.
