Religion
Does religion have any other explanation for evil things than blaming the victim?

[QUOTE="NarathzulArantheal, post: 2685868, member: 879981"] It's like every time something bad happens to someone religious people explain it as his fault. If someone dies of a disease, they'll say people sshouldn't have disobeyed God in the garden so they deserve what they get. If someone chokes to death they'll say he shouldn't have freely chosen to eat carelessly. If a Hurricane hits someone's house and killed all his family they'll say it's God punishing people for their misdeeds. Is there a single religious explanation for bad things that doesn't blame the victim and say he deserved it? Giant Flying Turtle For Fireball - They'll say he deserved it too. That everyone deserves it. I suppose there's the "free will" explanation but I mean the kind of evil that's not done by people. Things like earthquakes, disease, parasites, predation, accidents, disasters, design flaws that inflict great misery and such. Hope is certainty (Ross) - That made even less sense than your usual answers, they're always so incoherent. I really don't see what you mean by most of what you write. [/QUOTE]
