Moron.<br /><br />I'm with you entirely about the interpretation of God hurting people to set them up for something else. Though I do also understand as someone who has been hurt in personal ways the temptation to want to believe that there was some purpose behind it. It can be just as upsetting to think God has all this power and allegedly loves you, but sat back and let you go through something awful without it being part of His "plan". That line of thinking can make you feel entirely marginalized and question the point of even having an omniscient, omnipotent God.<br /><br />So, yeah, this conflict over interpretation has merit but once again, Rothdiener makes sure to quash anything potentially interesting by handing down a ruling of his own. I doubt it would have even occurred to him to articulate what I just did, because that would require having some perspective on life other than one of the privilege that he has shown so often throughout this tripe.Travis S.
