When is it God's plan and when is it free will ? Have you religious people made up your mind about that,yet ?
It seems to me you pick and choose whenever is convenient.
If it is God's plan why to you pray to change the outcome ?
And whenever you can't explain why the all seeing "loving" guy in the sky didn't intervene in saving a kid that was raped,tortured,or killed then you blame it on free will ( as if the helpless kid had any saying in the matter)and forget you say everything is God's plan.
Speaking of which , this wise quote always comes to mind :

Surely the very word 'religion' is a metaphor for 'convenience'. If people want to believe in God (of any faith) and it helps them through troubles, can that be a bad thing? It is only when they try and inflict their 'faith and beliefs' onto others that the ugly face of Religion rears it's head.😈 PS: Wasn't Epicurus the Roman or Greek "God of Food and Wine"? He was probably drunk when he uttered the above quote! lol. Fair play to him! Hee!
