But still, your guitar skills, your dog... these things have natural explanations. I mean, yeah, you can credit God for creating nature, but that's a whole can of worms of good and bad. There's an issue with how people selectively credit God for things.
At the very least, you gotta see how some people, regardless of whatever "blessings" they may have, fail to see God in any of it.
As for the Saint Lucy candle, it could be confirmation bias at work. That's a much more plausible explanation to me than divine forces at work.
My claim, yea, I agree. Should have used delusion or maybe magical thinking.
