    The parents will probably say that it was part of “god’s plan” and not even consider that it could have been prevented from a vaccination.

      Either everything is God’s plan or nothing is.

      These parents deserve a conviction for involuntary manslaughter.

        Gods plan and free will are interesting, and the relationship between them differs a lot between different types of Christianity

          Mere mortals can still plan to delegate decision making to the roll of a die. We do it all the time playing board games. It’s still planned.

          Imagine being omnipotent and delegating decisions to the apes’ free will that you created. Same thing.

          It’s still either absolute and naught between.

          Trying to have a philosophical argument with theosophists is pointless as they’re not arguing as rationalists. One can’t explain away a complex problem with a more complex problem: you just end up with two complex problems.
