One thing that atheists love to say to Christians is “you must pay one gold coin before you cross this bridge I live under, or I will place a curse upon your livestock.” But another thing that atheists say is “if God is real, why do bad things happen to good people?”
Oh thank goodness I came across this piece! Thanks Matthew. Funny AND sneakily relevant if my hunch is right. Super excited to read more of what you’re thinking about.
Though, if you are like the politician who cannot be named, perhaps you may pay others to fake a bad thing happening to you so that others can rubber neck and have a good look - and maybe get into the news and socials too! As ever your hot take (and puns) made me laugh until I cried, particularly crying and not laughing for the 11 interns who I hope are getting legit therapy/justice and definitely not coming to you for trauma coaching!! ;) *Apologies if you are now sued by said politician for what you allow your followers to post - thoughts and prayers*
The short answer to your title "why do bad things happen.." is that the overall goal of this whole exercise is to become a better person. And if the "bad thing" is so severe as to end in death, this doesn't bother God as He knows His children will live forever.

Never listened to their music. I’m 60. If I heard it, it’s on the radio so I wouldn’t have known.

Pears before swine... Removing the "L" is so subtle, yet so funny!
Makes you think indeed.
The title alone 😆🙌🏻
shifting the paradigm rachel
So, I'm gonna be honest. Sometimes I only understand half of what you write. But, it sure does make me laugh... :) :) :)
i try to never fully understand what i write, either
just like a christian school dance, got to leave room for the Holy Spirit, imo
