1. Did he speak from personal experience?

2. it has been asserted before

after all, everything is due to the will of god (according to those with feeble minds)

3. That's an Old Reliable argument of the radical anti-abortionists.

Not only should a woman have to look upon rape/incest as "the will of God," she must be prepared to raise any children that result from such depraved actions. Know your enemy, people.

4. That would also make pedophillia, torture, and slavery the will of god..

What kind of god is that? Sheesh.. He and the others are seriously depraved.

All of the above are the free will of humans on earth. Suck it up Representative George Faught.

5. Well, if Drumpf's presiDuncy is the will of god, why not rape and incest...?

And bubonic plague? I mean, you'd have to admit that god is one effed-up dude, if these are his will.....
