When Christians say, "God doesn't make mistakes," I don't know how they account for people like this lady.

"Pro-life activists in Kern County, the district Grove represents, didn’t stand behind Grove’s idea."
I never thought I would agree with pro life activists about anything!

ROBYN: When I was studying history at the University of San Francisco, I had the honor of studying under Monsignor John Tracy Ellis who was at the time a specialist in American Church History. One day in class he said " if you do not have wisdom, you can pray to God, and hopefully he will grant you wisdom. If you do not have knowledge, you can go to school, and there you can find knowledge. However, if you don't have common sense...well, and he shook his head, and lapsed into silence...." Basically there is no cure for people lacking common sense or who are just plain f*cking stupid or mean.
ME: I'm sure I offended a few people with the "mistakes" quote. Personally, I think it's one of the more offensive little sayings since it's usually used to either gloss over things (denial crutch), dismiss science or to support hate speech or ignorance.
I don't think of things that happen as a mistake or not. I think stuff happens that isn't part of any "plan" and for some people their faith helps them deal with it. In it's best form, the saying, "God doesn't make mistakes" is a nice little coping mechanism to make people feel better or accept something that is difficult, say Down's Syndrome. At the worst it's used to push the delusion that homosexuality is a choice. Things go awry in nature whether you think it has to do with God or not. If you are going to bring God into it I think it makes more sense to boost yourself with the thought that God thinks you are good just as you are.
