Such is the nature of being human. People disagree, people interpret in different ways. The difference is, mine is based on a logical observation and comparison of reality as compared to other peoples 'interpretations' of reality. I'm not saying you should believe me. That would suggest I'm trying to tell you what to believe. I'm saying that you should observe the world around you, then compare it to what I said. Smile

Not exactly. I believe that not only does God get involved in people's lives, He is constantly involved in them.

Why not? There are a number of places in the Bible where it explicitly states that you can have anything you want if you pray for it, as long as you believe.
You can have anything you want, but not if you pray for things you don't already have. Everything a person desires is actually within themself already. Usually by praying, they discover hey had it all along, and only lack it because they refuse to acknowledge it.

Sort of like how atheists deny having faith. Wink
