    How often we hear this silly-assed phrase !

    As if there's some all knowing, all controlling, all wise, etc., super
    being, presiding over everything and, if we ask nicely enough, He
    might just change something for the better.

    Utterly ridiculous on so many counts.

    We hear that He is responsible for everything. Well everything
    includes all bad things as well as good.

    When someone voices the opinion, that He is responsible for this
    famine, that war, this disease, that dictator or regime ( yes, even
    Hitler ), then the "faithful" will often intone, "God works in strange
    or mysterious ways"

    Indeed ! Such total BS !

    Oh, wow, Windows 11 -- the topic of THIS newsgroup -- has a direct line
    to God? Considering your viewpoint, why are you using Windows 11.
    Satya Nedalla is not God. Gates sold off all his shares of Microsoft.

    Wrong newsgroup.

    But you knew that already.

    How do you find out the answer and settle the bet? Spy on that person? :)
