    They often operate on the “just-world fallacy” too. I.e. if people are poor, starving, arrested, deported, raped, it’s because they deserve it.

      Sometimes I wish I could do that, just ignore all logic and believe what you want.

      So those people starving in Africa? Oh no God’s plan.

      People getting killed in Gaza? Also God’s plan

      That Kirk guy getting shot? Evil left, nothing to do with God.

      Immigrants trying to find a better life in a different country? The worst people, nothing to do with God.

      Aunt Marget died of cancer? Poor Marget, she was just unlucky,

      It did not help she had no health insurance? No thats not it, that’s communism
