    The ego on these people, calling themselves Christians but thinking God needs their help for his plans.

      They think God works through them, and it is their divine duty to do this.

      It’s how they justify a lot of the shit they do.

        I distrust those people who know so well what God wants them to do because I notice it always coincides with their own desires.

        It is their divine duty to do the things they already wanted to do and say it was for Jesus.

        This justification is always funny.

        “Oh, your all powerful god needs the help of Brian the middle manager to get its work done for them?”

          Because “God” works through us, imperfect tools, etc. The real question is why does anything we do matter if we are all just part of gods plan?

      Don’t you know, God is a lazy slob who needs to be provoked into action. And of course he has no idea what’s happening on Earth unless someone tells him in a very specific way.
