Seems like Christians long ago, turned from the idea of free will. It has become, especially among the evangelical, a fate based religion. Like Islam.
So, a religion defines 'god" out of whole cloth, will kill and burn, so sure of "right". And yet there is always this abdication of any understanding, at all.
"Mysterious ways" , "Inasha Aallah", is the same as "luck" and "roll the dice." Christians pray for good luck, for boons from god. Why, because the Church used to sell them. And in the same fashion, there are also prayers for bad luck to smoot and smite others.
Meant to happen? That's what the Boo Hoo Hudist, say about everything. Karma, fate.
