How do you deal with someone who has had something happen and they keep talking about “God’s plan”? I have a friend who is going through some tough times and it looks like they won’t be able to achieve what they wanted but keep placing it on God. I think it’s a coping mechanism for them but it still is rubbing me wrong. I am trying to stay supportive which basically just entails me keeping my mouth shut.

    Quietly quitting the relationship.

    Then they don’t need you. Good riddance.

    It’s useless, nothing will ever compare to the Sky Daddy.

      Dude. Chill. It’s obviously a close friend who is dealing with some major shit right now. Being an asshole over something this stupid is not the right move.

        Eating shit from a believer is not recommended in general.

        Being lenient now opens the door to future religious abuse.
