I could take my pistol and blow my brains out right now, if I wanted. (Or, I could be careles cleaning it and have an "accident.")
OR I could choose NOT to blow my brains out. Or I could choose to be CAREFUL cleaning the thing.
Just got back from my night on the town for St. Paddy's. I could have gotten stinking drunk and tried to drive with my feet. But I DIDN'T.
Sure, accidents happen. Disease happens, heart attacks yadda yadda. But I think that we can CHOOSE our means of death to a large extent (even if it is by old age.) We're NOT robots after all.
What about suicide? Does "God" decide that some people will deep-six themselves, or is it THEIR individual decision? And why did I start smoking back in high school, then? ARE you saying that wasn't MY choice to take up that destructive, risky habit?
Come now, Deanna/Ryan - it's a simple concept, FREE WILL. (OR are you denying we have free will and we're just "God's" wind-up toys..?)

I recieved no divine strength when i lost my father, i prayed, this was back when i was a practicing catholic.

I recieved no comfort from external sources, I was told all my life that if i prayed to God, he would help me through the bad. There is always emptiness there, it's just something you have to accept as a part of life, and move on.

I don't see how God can have any direct effect on someone. I've seen people pray all their life for one thing or another, doesn't mean it ever comes true. It's just a psychological crutch so you can help YOURSELF through your troubles.

I'd love to experience direct 'divine' meeting or whatever. I've prayed for it all my life, but crap in one hand pray in the other, see which one fills up first...

It certainly seems to be convincing to the people involved.

Black Napkins said "I'd love to experience direct 'divine' meeting or whatever" and I pointed to a story about a divine experience.

I was agreeing that people who have these experiences seem to view reality, and religion, differently. The god concept changes for them.

What did you think of the story, deanna?

I'm sorry you have alot of sadness in your life. But you can't assume that everyone else has had just smooth sailing.

And what is difficult for person A may seem like nothing to person B, so even if you tell me the details I may not feel the same things as you. And vice versa.

But I have trouble accepting the concept of a god who makes all the decisions like you said.
