God is in control?

 
God is in complete control?
If God is in complete control then every "backslider" back slid because He made them do it, anyone that offended you did it because He made them do it, anyone that hurt you did it because He made them do it, any attacks on your health or home is because He made it happen, so why are you so angry?
Anything that happens, good, bad, or ugly is due to God doing it or making it happen.
So the obvious reaction should be to stop complaining about it, stop fighting it, just let it happen and learn to deal with it.
It isn't anyone but God's fault according to you, if you follow this belief.
It's not the devil made them do it, its God made them do it according to this prevalent theology.
Talk about calling good evil and evil good.
It's not like God, Himself, actually began in the first book of the bible saying that He, Himself, decided to give man dominion over the earth...
It's not like God, Himself, didn't try to get people to understand that there is a god of this world, ruler of this world, a prince of the power of the air, a father of lies, etc...
It's not like God, Himself, didn't say to pray that His will is done on earth as it is in heaven...
It's not like God, Himself, didn't say there's a thief that's trying to steal, kill, and destroy...
It's not like God, Himself, didn't say that no one had truly seen Him, or truly heard His voice, until He, Himself, walked the earth...
But hey, don't let God, Himself, get in the way of your beliefs.
It can't be that God, Himself, is right, and the traditions of man are wrong or something.
Can it, American Christians™?

About me

For those that don't know me, let me let you in on a little something about me. I am like a total goofball. I love joking around. I don't take life too serious. I have a weird sense of humor. I'm annoying. I don't let a good/bad disagreement get in the way of a bad/good friendship. I don't get mad at people over the internet. I don't really get mad at people in real life. I'm happy go lucky. You can find me either smiling, looking goofy (my normal look), or whistling at work (and if you work with me chances are you've made fun of me for it at least once) I don't expect people to believe everything I believe. I am passionate about my beliefs. I respect that you are passionate about yours. If you disagree with me or I disagree with you, I still love you irregardless. (don't you just love that word? the dictionary sure doesn't) It's hard to offend me to the point where I hold a grudge, usually I'm over things within a cou

Kiling makes you neither a hero or villian, it makes you a weapon of darkness.

The interesting thing is that very similar statements as in this article at Creation.com, http://creation.com/will-cornick-murders-teacher?utm_media=email&utm_source=infobytes&utm_content=us&utm_campaign=emails , were made by an American Sniper , and they seem to be perfectly fine and acceptable, and even "Christians" support them. Quite disturbing to witness recently if you ask me. Here are the statements and incident I am addressing: "The horrendous stabbing murder of an English high school teacher and the comments the perpetrator made afterwards are a potent reminder of the possible effects of evolutionary thinking on impression able minds. Some of the sickening comments the teenage student made after the killing included: “I wasn’t in shock, I was happy. I had a sense of pride. I still do. “I know it’s uncivilised but I know it’s incredibly instinctual and human. Past generations of life, killing is a route of survival. “It’s kill or be k

Am I a "Cool Kid?"

I've noticed that human nature is all about exclusion. It's "us against them", it's my state against the next state, my city against the next city, my neighborhood, against the next neighborhood. It's in sports, extracurricular activities, Star Wars vs. Star Trek, car brands, cars vs. trucks, cars vs. motorcycles, social media sites, political parties, skin color, etc. The list would be quite exhausting if I continued to provide examples, but one huge problem is that exclusion has become a major part, a poisonous part, of a group that should be completely focused on inclusion. Exclusion has corrupted the minds of many whose hearts should be drawing them to being open and loving, reaching out to those that they think are different. Exclusion has caused a love to go cold. Exclusion has caused a man to despise his neighbors, every neighbor around the world. That group that exclusion has become such a major part of is... ...Christians. When we study these tr
