Hardship makes some people turn away from God. Others turn to God. I don't know why that is, but I'm guessing that it is the same reason why, when times are good, some people thank God and others simply enjoy the blessings.

Thanks, but given that I have been literally playing for an experience of the divine since I was 16 or so, what possible meaning could God, in your estimation, have been meant to translate to me, other than "continue doing what you're doing and all is well"?

What makes you think anything you believe have access to overrides my experience, and why?

In everything. You're talking to someone who went to bed for a decade, asking for divine guidance.

And I'm open to it. Believe me; as much as I play the devil's advocate on here, it's out of an innate want for truth. If God steps in to demonstrate himself to me, nothing would make me happier than embracing him, and finally having a reason to assign to all of this to.

Thank you. My wife is indeed a goddess. I have no problem pledging the best of my ability to live up to what she needs, and to make her happy.
