Benevolent Creator God?

[LadyForCamus]

@LadyForCamus to answer how can you differentiate between your own mind in action and a god acting upon you[?]

And what would be the practical effect of intentionally not making that distinction? I actually don't think it would be all that important.

Importance is a value judgement. If holding rationally justified beliefs is important to an individual, then making that distinction absolutely matters. And if acting in accordance with rationally held beliefs matters to an individual, then the distinction matters on that front as well. As @vulcanlogician pointed out above, our beliefs inform our actions.

Interacted with an an individual on FB recently who was telling her friend that under no circumstances should she return to her ex, who was a serial sexual and physical abuser, unless he had truly given himself to Christ and repented.
