“it is God’s Will” is one of a special kind of phrase. It's called a thought terminating cliche. Ever since reading "Thought Reform and the Psychology of Totalism", I see thought termination everywhere. It makes it nearly impossible to hold a reasoned conversation. Not only does it cut off conversations but it keeps people from dealing with fallacies and cognitive dissonance in themselves.
