“Christians often preach an unbiblical, and uncompassionate theology of suffering. Such as, ‘everything that happens to you is God’s will.’ (That teaching is not in the Bible.) ‘God will never give you more than you can handle.’ (Death is the biological definition of more than you can handle.) ‘God needed this baby more than you do.’ (Why? Does he collect babies?) ‘Your baby’s in a better place.’ (So, you’d rather your kids go to heaven now than stay on earth?) None of that reflects God’s heart for the grieving.”
