That has always been such a weird thing to me. Like what are you so selfish that you believe god is making plans specifically for you over the other people? Or do you accept that god may plan for you to be a loser for the rest of your life? Would they believe in that plan as well?
yes, a good Christian should accept himself losing (or for that matter having the most horrendous life ever) as part of god’s plan. That’s what the book of Job was all about.
He was rich guy who was very religious and devout. But then god does kinda like a bet with the devil. The devil argue that job believes in god only because he has had a good life and the moment that changed he would stop being religious. But in the case of job that didn’t happened. Being the learning that your circumstances in your life shouldn’t affect your faith or something like that.
Why wouldn't a god who is "responsible" for creating a Universe with Billions of Galaxies and trillions of starts care about a person's sporting event on Saturday?
That’s absolutely how it is. Loss or win, all parts of God’s plan. Steroid and hard drug abuse, as well as cheating on your wife and occasionally assaulting her, believe it or not: also part of God’s plan!
