It's the staggering arrogance that gets me. These people will tell you that thousands of people being buried alive under mudslides or being washed away in a tsunami is all part of God's greater plan, and that we shouldn't even
try to second guess his reasons for committing such atrocities. But when
their life (or that of their favourite footballer) becomes endangered, they expect God to drop everything and intervene. What makes them so special that they see fit to ask their 'infallible' creator to change his plans, when the rest of the time they're happy to glibly dismiss the untold suffering of others as being 'His will'?
