I have been a Taoist.
I have been an atheist.
I have looked into and adopted ideas from numerous religions, such as Buddhism.
I have been a compatibilist, a dualist, a determinist, and a naturalist.
Some of these I have discarded, some I may yet discard.
I have considered many ideas and options in my life, and even changed my points of view on more than one occasion.
I am still open to changing my points of view.

As far as your guessing is turned into a solid and firm belief then you got to be very careful.
You are guessing that God did this or that without even understand why.
What about if God would have a good reason to do this or that?
Have you ever heard of the kangaroo court where people are declared guilty before real evidence is brought forward?

I already said my beliefs are subject to change. Are yours?
You are still projecting.
