CC made it sound like someone actually said that God drowned those camp kids in Texas, but the first line of the OP was:

> [@Just curious how drowning a bunch of kids can be considered God's will](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/just-curious-how-drowning-a-bunch-of-kids-can-be-considered-gods-will/1020860/1):

> So, I presume the folks who ran that camp in Texas are trying to figure out how it was that God saw fit to drown a bunch of little kids.

I replied:

> So, no one’s actually said this… you just PRESUMED it, and presumed it often enough and strong enough that you just had to start a thread that implied that someone actually said it.

Someone called it “Manufactured Outrage”… I’d call it unresolved issues that we have to deal with because CC hasn’t.
