If you believe in God, do you think he's helping or that he's out to get you?

I wonder sometimes.  We were walking down the sidewalk one day and something went splat next to where I was walking.  My wife asked what that was and I said, "It's God.  Now he's trying to spit on me."  There were no birds overhead.  We both had a good laugh over that.

    God? The guy that has a blast f**king me over? In any case, my belief in him is fading and I'm not even going to fight it.

    He's helping. I used to think he was up "there" waiting to dump a boiling pot of crap on my head. But, that's not the case. I can not describe my faith because it's mine. 

    I just hold onto what I believe and love people and pray for them even when they don't know or care.

    That's just God only trying to remind you that he exists. Does not mean anything else at all like expecting you to worship or pray to him or go to church or read the Bible..  When those odd little nuisance things happen just look skyward, wave your hand at him and say "thanks God" then he won't bother you so much long as you acknowledge that you know he exists.

    I know that God created everything in this universe that has made it possible for me to have the wonderful life I am able to have.  I know that God both helps and judges but I would not be so arrogant as to say what is the help and what is the judgment.  I fear God's judgment because I know as an imperfect human being I am a sinner which is why I know my only hope of Eternal Salvation is through God's mercy by the atonement of Jesus Christ for my sins.  In that and that alone I place my hope. Because I know I can't do it on my own.

    I have found a way that 'The Creator' uses to communicate with anything that is made of atoms, and atoms can communicate back and forth. (if they had a brain)  I can't seem to explain it to anyone because you have to understand 'Bell's Theorum' first, and there are several ways to explain that. So I don't try.
