Fuck that, whatever he meant by that, let him express himself. Christians who get seriously offended by this are a little too touchy.
And if you really believe in Him... Jesus wouldn't be petty enough to get offended by something like this, He'd look at the motives behind the statement and take it for what it is. If God can't understand that the hardships He puts people through seem fucking unfair to us poor stupid mortals, then what kind of God is He?
