I think OP was more referring to how, by this guy’s logic, he was literally fighting against the will of god when he was trying to overturn the 2020 election results.
I believe that if God gives power to certain individuals, so too can he take it away. Many systems, positions and meanings in society such as caste, authority and regulation are temporary or exist based on a certain set of justifications with a certain set of rules and boundaries. Humanity would be best to learn or perhaps be reminded that there are certain responsibilities that come with leadership, one of those is to lead by example rather than to justify their leadership by an imaginary authority alone.
For example, if we imagine a God as a being of supernatural capabilities, awareness and intelligence, well beyond our understanding, who allows us to live our lives with a certain degree of freedom, would it not be unreasonable to believe that all our current circumstances, everything from our freedom, the truth of certain issues, down to the very matter of this universe itself as it stands is a gift?
Why can’t you theists keep your story straight, is your skydaddy the creator of good and evil or just good? If it creates both them how do you feel about knowing that he put men like Stalin and Mao in the position they were in? If it creates only good how do you feel about knowing that he allows this stuff to happen?
This author took the valid position of hating whatever the fuck this setup is supposed to be, and made the whole complaint look silly by how thick the BS was laid on.
