Granted. But I don't think you're in any better position to know if god is working in your life when things go well or otherwise. It could be good genetics or luck when someone survives an illness or avoids contracting a disease. It doesn't have to be the will of some god who watches over each and every person's every act and thought, deciding what consequence to dish out in each case.
I believe I'm in the perfect position to see God working in my life, I'm looking for what He's doing and asking Him to work in and through my life.
God doesn't work that way IMO, He will walk through the hard times with us giving us the things we need to get through and at times He will take care of a problem for us no matter how big or small. God is active in my life, I know this without a doubt, I sorry others here can not understand, as I said I watch for what He does in my life and make I do believe that makes the difference.
In a way, perhaps. Certainly you're the only one who can decide what makes sense for you. But my point remains. You have no objective evidence, nothing that could persuade a reasonable person. Just your interpretation of what you've witnessed. On a par with, but not superior to the witness each of us bears to our own experience. I can't say you are wrong -for you- but neither can you falsify mine or anyone else's truth. Do you really think you're in any better position to interpret the truth of everyone's experience than they are themselves? Please don't bring the bible into this. Its relevancy is precisely what is in question so citing it would be rather circular.
