I actually love this one, because it’s technically correct but not in the way people who use it mean, so you can turn it around easily.
Yes, you did get cancer for a reason. Because you insisted on maintaining your suntan every winter. Or perhaps merely because you pissed off the wrong banana.
Hear me out on this: God is creating jobs for the community. If there weren’t stupid people around to get hurt, the smart ones wouldn’t have anything to do!

In my case, it was through no action of my own and merely bad luck. So the only “reason” would be bad luck or a shitty all-powerful deity.
That’s the malicious banana. Everything happens for a reason, but that doesn’t mean it’s reasonable
Hmmmm I do love to eat bananas 🤔 BRB, off to sue Chiquita

Children starving to death

What about the doctors, nurses, and various other staff members?
As a surgical tech, I have to bite my tongue when this pops up. Like… bitch, your god sent you to the OR in the first place - you should be pissed!

God did ruin Job’s life over a bet with Satan so maybe this is less of a plan and more of a downward spiral gambling addiction
