    The death of his daughter, Peter told me, was God’s will. God created measles. God allowed the disease to take his daughter’s life. “Everybody has to die,” he said.

      I thought the whole point of Abraham dragging his son up to the mountain to be killed was to prove that this God would never ask you to sacrifice your child for him?

      That was soet of his biggest selling point, if my history serves me right.

        I remember the story from Sunday School, but in our church we were taught that the ‘point’ was to always obey God without question. Like, even if God’s instructions seem insane, do it anyway, maybe He’s just messing with you?

      Why don’t they acknowledge that God created the vaccines ?

      The soul crushing sadness here is that his daughter didn’t get a say.

      She didn’t have to die. Even if the shot made her autistic, she’d still be alive.

      These people are in effect saying “I’d rather have a dead kid than an autistic kid.”

        I know 5 autistic, 2 way more autistic than the others, adults that never vaccinated until 25+.

        Anyone that actually believes there is a connection between vaccines and autism is irredeemably dumb as fuck.

      God also gave him a brain. Maybe he should try using it sometime.

      such a fucking stupid view… By definition every scenerio we are in is something god put us in… Living as a human is taking action to avoid death. Be it eating, taking shelter from the elements, drinking water. Why are microbes any different than say… mountain lions… If a fricking mountain lion threatens your kids, is the response going to be “well guns are man made, god put those mountain lions there for a reason”. or are you going to get out there, and hunt that thing.

      God creates a lot of things. God created ted Bundy, Charles Manson, and Eric raider. His argument almost could be taken that none of them deserve punishment. After all, what they did was “God’s will”.
