We quote loud and long,"all things work together for good..."to someone who just lost a loved one.
We say to others, "In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God..." but we don't believe it applies to all that comes to us!
If we claim not to be an agnostic, we must quit believing in and looking for second causes.
There are no second causes.
There are no second causes for the Christian who loves God.
