We just like the idea that He does. Humans have been like that since our caveman days when we became aware of our finite existence and looked for some way to gain some control over the uncontrollable.<br /><br />Then there's the extension of that - God doesnt exist. Well at least not in the traditional sense of an intervening deity.<br /><br />Working miracles through humans ? Sort of contradicts the entire concept of miracles. To me miracles were 1st century constructs tied up with superstition and a lack of knowledge of our world.<br /><br />I'm sounding very cynical in my old age.Whitefellahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03035831775582969960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29128991.post-82332734571242036072010-05-23T19:37:01.079-07:002010-05-23T19:37:01.079-07:00I get too fouled up with answered prayers and try ...I get too fouled up with answered prayers and try to live with the thought of God with me rather than asking what God is doing. . . .(or isn't).Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08061517211101084120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29128991.post-79800552857783653152010-05-21T18:57:32.309-07:002010-05-21T18:57:32.309-07:00yep, yep, yep!yep, yep, yep!Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12494823779999456396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29128991.post-68364881177674752872010-05-21T10:24:02.165-07:002010-05-21T10:24:02.165-07:00I agree, Sherry.I agree, Sherry.Mystical Seekerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10828225180668865911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29128991.post-18290300153500503532010-05-21T10:23:19.990-07:002010-05-21T10:23:19.990-07:00Worse, trying to claim that God "saved" ...Worse, trying to claim that God "saved" you from the hurricane, when he obviously didn't save others, but raises an ugly problem, best left alone. I prefer a God who works his miracles through humans who graciously allow him control by choice, than trying to figure out why this baby dies and that one lives.Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15503657383929273550noreply@blogger.com
