Or worse: "it's all part of God's plan!" every time something bad happens. "So... God's a sadist, or what? Cuz his plan is shit."

Or the related one: "I'd like to thank God for coming through this surgery."

What about the doctors, nurses, and various other staff members?

As a surgical tech, I have to bite my tongue when this pops up. Like... bitch, your god sent you to the OR in the first place - you should be pissed!

Hear me out on this: God is creating jobs for the community. If there weren't stupid people around to get hurt, the smart ones wouldn't have anything to do!

God did ruin Job’s life over a bet with Satan so maybe this is less of a plan and more of a downward spiral gambling addiction
