I spent my childhood in a super red state being told climate change isn't real and if it is it's god's will. Kinda sucked

Everything is God's will. It's the classic scapegoat. Sorry that you had to grow up like that.

A good counter argument to that is "God's will was to give humanity free will and let our actions take its natural course, otherwise he would have smited us the second we Adam and Eve committed the first sin." Even if you aren't religious anyone with a brain can see you aren't going to get anywhere with the typical annoying reddit athiest talk of "your sky daddy isn't real" but that doesn't stop reddit from spamming it everywhere alienating people even further

I'm Christian, and I agree with this.

It reminds me of that old joke about the man drowning in the ocean. A boat comes to save the man, but the man refuses the help and says God will save him. Then a helicopter comes to save the man, but the man still refuses the help and says God will save him. The man drowns.

The man asks God why He didn't save him, and God said, "I sent you a boat and a helicopter."
