(9) His Plan

God has a plan for your life. God has a plan for my life. God has a plan and a purpose for each individual he created.

"I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord..."
Jeremiah 29:11

Let's take a look at some of Gods' plans he has declared for certain individuals. His plans of hope, purpose, and a future.

This video is "bases" on true events. Artistic liberty has been employed, however.

For more information on Kevin Carter and the child featured in this video, please go to this 6 page article:

The fate of the little girl featured in this video is uncertain. However, she was never located after this photo was published.

As to Kevin Carter's decision not to help the child:
Journalists in the Sudan were told not to touch the famine victims, because of the risk of transmitting disease.

Part of Kevin's suicide note read:
"I am haunted by the vivid memories of killings & corpses & anger & pain . . . of starving or wounded children, of trigger-happy madmen, often police, of killer executioners"

I did not listen to the video but I can tell by the comments that I share the same views as you.Keep spreaking the truth,religion is for the weakminded sheep and nothing but BS.Also I have tried to debate with true believers,and it's like taking candy from a baby,they dissapear after a few exchanges.

@bongo7654 Why did you not listen to the video? I am just curious. ; )

Are you serious? You're copying religious tactics to convince people to adopt atheism ... you're full of shit man

There is no rational argument in this video. all you're doing is playing with people's emotions. This is not helping your cause

[FishHeadSalad]

@ASKaPHYSICIST Wow, if there are two things I know now, they are that I am constipated and that I have a cause! Thanks for the enlightenment!

Theist or Atheist sometimes this fucking world stinks. If there's a god why doesn't he do something? If there's no god...why don't we?

@tecciztucatl Also if God created all things, which I believe He did, then he can do what he wants with it. She was created by God he fulfilled his plan for her life and it did work toward good for someone. It is sad, but I have assurance of a better future after death. If I am wrong, Which I don't believe I am, then I have not been hurt in the least by my beliefs, nor has anyone else.

[Tarz9]

@tecciztucatl She would go to hell depending on her age. If she was not yet at the age of understanding then she could be in heaven. As for "fast-tracking her to heaven" She was allowed to go through what she did to be an inspiration for christians to become missionaries and try to spread the Gospel message to the world. Also if she was taken to heaven as I will believe until I am proven wrong then her suffering was nothing compared to an eternity in heaven.

[tecciztucatl]

@Tarz9 It wasn't a mercy to give the poor girl a life which consisted of a few miserable years of starvation, ended only by the mercilessly curved beak of a vulture ripping into her eyesockets. Why not fast-track her to heaven and spare her that brief hell? Besides, if she wasn't 'saved' by Christ then she goes to hell anyway.

"he does have sovereign right to do what he will with the things he created"

Would you torture children under ANY circumstances? So why is it ok for God to do it?

[Tarz9]

Did you even consider that this child was beyond help here on Earth, but now she could be in Heaven feasting on the fruit from the Tree of Life and being held close to her creator? Death could have been a mercy. God's ways are beyond ours. We don't know his plans and beside that he does have sovereign right to do what he will with the things he created. if you choose not to understand Christianity you will not. If you choose not to accept Christ's sacrifice he will turn away from you.

Invisible man, invisible plan. It's all a wash.

@warren52nz the bible is a very plain book It has no mind controlling qualities This video on the other hand is very emotionally manipulative. btw, I'm not a Christian, not that that has any bearing on my point

[screaminmeani]

fuck. i'm having a bad health day. in a lot of pain. i was mentally feeling okay, now i'm kinda sad and nauseated. good vid, it made me feel like i'm a spoiled, lucky, priviledged human and i should be really fucking grateful for my circumstances of birth and family. whenever i get overwhelmed at the thought of how many children starve to death everyday i remind myself that i can share, show kindness, compassion and respect while working for justice& human rights in my own community.

@ASKaPHYSICIST "There is no rational argument in this video"

You say that because you're blinded by your religion! The argument put forward in this video makes perfect sense. You just can't face the truth like so many other Christians!

The Bible is a pile of bullshit! It's inconsistent, primitive and offers nothing but guilt and mind control.
