That does sound crazy. If God were in control of your life, then you would not be responsible for anything. It would all be on God. If you murder or steal, it is God's fault, because God is in control of your life.

Curiously, though, if one reasons it through like that, religionists typically do not accept what follows from their claims. (There are Christians who also say the same sorts of crazy things.)
