@homebird I agree. It's an uncomfortable thought. I wonder whether "this happened" wasn't his blindness, but their meeting, eg "this *moment* has happened". Maybe.
Or perhaps we sometimes have to accept that God's thoughts and actions are so far beyond our comprehension that what seems cruel to us is acceptable to God? We do tend to Judge God by human standards quite a bit.

@stueytheround @JoyfullyDazed I can cope with "this moment happened" for sure. But yeah. I still remember my mother telling me she''d refuse a blood transfusion and let me die, because that is what God wants. Then I see "Christians" saying God meant disabled to be disabled, or God "loved those kids so brought them home early". All I want to do is throw up my hands and shout "BS!"
@stueytheround Now don't get me wrong, Stuey, I believe in God. I do. What I don't believe in is so many so-called "Christians" who want to interpret him to suit their needs and biases. You get my meaning? @JoyfullyDazed
@stueytheround It seems that the older I get, the more questions I have, LOL 😂 @JoyfullyDazed
@homebird Oh yes. It's really important that those who believe ask these questions. Even if we can't find satisfactory answers.
