I have been told recently by some people claiming they are Christians that whatever the issue, it "is in God's hands". Ultimately, that is true. However, God wants us to work on the issues He gives us. Abraham, Noah, Joseph, the Old Testament Prophets, John the Baptist, Jesus, the Apostles, Paul and people throughout the ages up to Martin Luther King, Jr. and those of today didn't just throw up their hands and claim "it is in God's hands".
When people who claim they are Christian and then respond as fatalists, not only are they lying to me, they are lying to themselves. What they are really saying is "I don't want to do anything about the issue". At least come clean and don't blame your inactivity or fatalism on God.
I am pretty sure God doesn't like it when you lie about Him. You won't get a free pass on that.
