I will not pollute up other members threads with this rant.
And I know that it will get moved, or removed sooner or later. It is not my intention to be indifferent to anybody here. If you believe in God, believe.
Believe what you want for that matter. I'm not here to change your mind, and It would be fruitless to try.
I just gotta say this:
I see and hear it everyday. Somebody giving credit to God fro answering their prayer, or looking out for their loved ones. Because for some reason or the other that person didn't die, didn't get shot, didn't suffer, got the job, made more money, was able to buy the house, or simply made the decision to choose Coke instead of Pepsi. The whole thought process seems a little naive.
Somebody gives credit to God for somehow guiding their love one to make a decision to turn off of the path that a deranged "active shooter" is on, while at the same time another person at the other end of the road has just chosen to turn on to it. One person lives that day, another person dies. Does it not seem naive then to assume that God chose the loved one instead of the poor bastard at the other end of the street?
You can apply this thought to every scenario imaginable. Whether it be in a hospital waiting room, on a battlefield, in a school, on the ball field, or in a job interview,...for all of those that pray that they're saved, make the right choice, or get what they want,............. there's just as many that didn't.
Maybe it's because the other guy didn't pray enough? or as often?
"We can't fathom how the lord works,..... our feeble minds can't even imagine the process". "God had a different plan for you ( or him, or her) ." " The lord works in mysterious ways."..."It's a miracle!" All come out of the mouths of people who can't explain why or how something happened, because at the other end, there's somebody who needs to hear it.
Too many people suffer at the hands of other men. Too many people are abused, injured and killed. Just as many people suffer quirks of fate. (i.e. the pedestrian bridge collapse that smashed cars beneath) How many of these people believe ya spose?
A large percentage did. Yet,....there they are.
This is what I think.
With very little exception, men suffer their fates at the hands of other men. Men kill other men.
At the same time, it's the people who save people. Whether at the hands of a doctor, a therapist, a fireman, a policeman, soldier, or a minister....it's the people right here on earth that change our circumstance. Nobody or nothing else.
