Atheists seem to find it insulting that when something bad happens to someone, the Christian response is that “it was God’s will.” The extrapolation of this statement is that it is God’s will, designed to bring glory to himself and good to his children. That is comforting to me, but perhaps I’m weird.
As usual with atheists, they deride our beliefs and offer little to no substitute. This time, the substitute for God orchestrating all things to his glory would be replaced by all things being meaningless and random. If not random, bad things may happen for the betterment of the species, in which case “bad” things may not actually be bad. It’s all a matter of perspective. An ethnic purist (depending on his definition of purity) would consider the Holocaust a good thing.
...And they think we are insensitive for believing in Hell?
