http://www.rawstory.com/2015/12/marco-rubio-911-terror-attacks-were-part-of-gods-plan-for-the-universe/snip:
Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio thinks the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks and the recent massacre in Paris were part of Gods plan.
Speaking at a campaign rally last Monday in Iowa, the Florida senator said Christians should never be afraid because God was in control of the universe, the Christian Post reported.
I'm afraid this guy could launch a nuclear attack and say it was all part of the plan. We are still a year away from the election, how far can the crazy go?

(3,660 posts)ALL theists part of the major religions (and most of the minor ones) must by definition believe this.
What are the alternatives?
Either a god with no knowledge, or no power, or no interest. Do you know any believer in any of the major religions who claims such a god? Any preacher who sells such an idea? They won't come out and say so, but I've never met one non-deist who would define god as lacking any of those three, so that leaves us with a god who knew, who cared, who could change, but who did not.
Unless then you've got a god like an Idiocracy TV viewer constantly theo-giggling over the celestial TV hit "Ow, my WTC" then it must indeed have been part of his plan, by either commission or omission.
Any other explanation leads to either the disinterested demiurge of deism or/and an utter bastard unworthy of being called a person let alone a god.
