The Talibangelicals I have talked with here in central Pa. believe that everything that happens, good or bad, is because of god. It's like these people have lost their free will. One nice lady talked to me about her life history, about how it was god's plan how her husband lost his job about how she got a new job. She even told me that Trump is president because he was god's chosen one. I made some comments about Trump's sultry past but that didn't phase her. I should have gone down the road of false prophet and seen her response.
