Suggested by Shaker Kate A: What is your least favorite platitude or cliche?
"God works in mysterious ways." Or any variation thereof: I can't stand any trite reference to "God's plan" or "what God wanted" as explanation for horrible things, especially for mass injury/death caused by a natural disaster or for an unexpected death. When I hear someone say a child died because God wanted that child with Him, I become a quivering column of undiluted rage.
