Now, here's my question for Gregg. Where was your God when your child crawled into the enclosure? You give your God credit for saving your son while at the same time it would seem this same God was responsible for allowing the child to need saving.
Why is it that Christians give their God credit for everything good that happens but never curse Him for the bad things that happen? Please, if you say He works in mysterious ways I'm going to send my pup after you.
Speaking of praying, here's an old video of mine that is about prayers and praying.
"The beauty of religious mania is that it has the power to explain everything. Once God (or Satan) is accepted as the first cause of everything which happens in the mortal world, nothing is left to chance … or change. Once such incantatory phrases as ‘we see now through a glass darkly’ and 'mysterious are the ways He chooses His wonders to perform’ are mastered, logic can be happily tossed out the window. Religious mania is one of the few infallible ways of responding to the world’s vagaries, because it totally eliminates pure accident. To the true religious maniac, it’s all on purpose."
Stephen King, The Stand, p. 714
