Wouldn't the inverse be true as well? i.e. If God was looking out for you, why didn't God save the person next to you too?

Part of the reason I found the clip was because I discovered that the man in question was not a doctor, despite calling himself one. I notified the news station thinking they'd want to remove the clips; their business is built on giving factual information. I received a note back saying the man had paid for advertising, that the clip was marked as paid advertising, and that they didn't intend to do anything about it. First off, it wasn't marked, but even if it was, shouldn't the news station remove it? less
responsibility of other world governments to ensure that it doesn’t get smuggled into their countries?(This is not about me; I’m asking for a friend.)~

How does that jibe with the feelings of those of you who want to hold Trump responsible for every shooting and act of violence that has occurred during (and even before) his presidency?

From the killer's point-of-view, sending one off the Earth forever is one thing, but sending off an individual if you think there is nothing after this life is truly chhhhhilllingggg. I think the average atheist really respects life. Their outlook is the bravest outlook one can have.

The friend feels certain it was a false positive. I'm not buying it. Any experiences in this realm?

The friend put up with it, but when I heard what was happening, it was bad enough that I reported the agency to several state boards. Later, the friend purchased a vehicle in a private sale. Within a week or so, the vehicle started falling apart. I looked up the seller and the seller had a criminal record for things like fraud involving vehicle sales. The same friend recently got established with a medical provider found through their insurance company and was telling me all the things that were happening there that didn't seem right. I looked into the provider and, although he calls himself a doctor, he isn't one. I reported him to the boards. There are more stories like this with this one person, and some, like the vehicle, I can say, "Ok, you should have had the car checked before you bought it and researched the seller," but the job and the non-doctor? Weird.
Like everyone, I have bad things happen to me and have bad... less
