Apparently not 
Let's see, Ben just said he governs his life... The poll asked who governs the whole order of things, I prophesie a bait and switch is about to happen...

That was easy isn't it? May be there are more people who will say - they govern their lives and the general order of things in their lives? Tut... thought so. You've missed my point entirely. I'm but one part of the governance to which my life is subject; my personal wants & needs are frequently altered by the constraints & dependencies imposed by the 2 aforementioned caveats (which are, themselves, gross oversimplifications of complicities so intricate that humanity lacks the language to describe them).

Everyone wants to jump on my prophet bandwagon these days. I knew it would happen, of course, but maybe I ought to put some kind of "beware of cheap imitations" warning up there.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Pffft. Don't be coming in here with your "I knew that was coming too" crap. I TOTALLY knew first!

Asking such a broad question is probably not going to get you closer to the truth. I suppose the 'govern'ment governs human life for most. Hard to answer the later question in a blurb.
For the sake of perspective, are you seeking the truth or are you trying to convince others that you know better than them?

Why you always justify yourself before me? Either you have control over your lives or not! The answer is yes or no.
As for what reply would have been of mine I would answer easily I have control over or govern my life. I decide when I eat, sleep, work, drink, fuck, when I study, agree or disagree with someone else, easy as that.
Why you all overcompicate things? Yo are all pussies! Dweebs!
Try it again
If there is no God, then, who governs your life and, in general, the whole order of things in your life?
Stimbo governs his life? Who else?

I sense a trap coming up, so I'll just remind you of all the caveats and conditions I mentioned, which you seem to be snipping out for some unstated reason. Yes, I govern my life inasmuch as that governance interacts with the external world and everyone with whom I come into contact within it.
Even if I am wrong and there is no impending trap, I want that footnote on record. I don't want someone later maintaining I said something that I didn't.
