Warning - Rant!
I recently heard a PR talking about some choice they had made as “it’s God’s will my child is able to do xyz”. I want to throw up when I hear these comments. I always did, even when I was a PR 200 percenter. God’s will? Try this - it was my decision to put my child in xyz situation. Why do they have to stamp everything they do as God’s will? Drives me insane!
Does this bother anyone else? Especially you ex-PRs who are still Christians?

Not still a Christian, but I also often found it was God's blessed answer to prayer when in your favor, or God's will when not neccesarily so. Very few actually attribute death or suffering for example, as God's blessed answer to their prayers. |

Like wearing religion on their sleeve. Or is it you really don't believe that was actually Gods will in the sense that God is sovereign? |

My favorite was the people that thought God had preordained a perfect marital match for them. Somehow their matches always conveniently fit their place in the social hierarchy.
That has to make admitting to marital trouble more difficult.
