Question: If god has so much power whats the point of living!?
If we thank god for everything, that means god made it so!. So people are never in the right place at the right time because god had to have put them there, which means that these people have no free will!. So either god(s) has less power than is widely believed or my life has been scripted this whole time!. And if my life is scripted i don't really see the point in living any further since i don't really make a difference anyway, I'm nothing more than a finger on the hand of god!. so whats the point!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

So obviously someone has taken philosophy 101!.

If you don't see a point to life with your reasoning then end your life!. You will no longer be a puppet on any ones finger!. However if you do decide to continue living then I guess deep down you do see that there is some point and all the philosophy in the world won't convince you otherwise!.

Your choice!.

In response to the addition!.

If you believe that God put them there to help you then you thank God for controlling them and the people because it's a nice thing to do!.

If you believe in freewill and it was their choice to be there to help you!. Then you thank God for giving them the free will to choose to help you!. also you thank the people for exersing their will to help you in your time of need!.

If you don't believe in God then be a decent person and say thanks to those who help you!.

There is a theroy that says if God has given us free will he is not Omniscienct!. For he has given up his power to control us!. If we truly have free will then he can not interfer in our life at all for it will contradict our own will and it is no longer free will!. The two can not be true at one time!.

Either way it's a question that all our knowlegde and understanding of the world has not been able to figure out!. We argue back and forwarth but in the end we will never know!.

Your question is based on the existance of God!. The fact if God actually exists hasn't been proven or disproven!. Until that is answered your question is irrelevant!.

So don't hurt your head to much thinking of an answer!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Free will is the capacity to choose the good!. God has given us that capacity, clearly!. When we are in any situation we have the ability to make choices on our own!. These choices could be positive or negative in their effect, but we make them nevertheless!. Us having free will does not diminish God's power because it was HIS choice to give us free will!. If we didnt have free will we would be incapable of being able to love, or experience any happiness since we would be a world of automata!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I'm hoping that someone with more brains then me will answer this question , but in the meantime , it's not scripted , but God bails us out of those continual boo boos we keep trying to put ourselves in , Thats why we thank him , cause without him , what a mess we would have made !.and as for the point !. Smiles are fun!. thats why we're here , to spread some around and keep one on our own face if possible !.Www@QuestionHome@Com

There is always the possibility that God didn't put everything there, but is there!. As in, God is the chair!. God is the ocean!. PanTheism!. All is God!.

My view of God, is that he is Energy, and energy alone!. And what are atoms made of!? Energy!. What creates Everything!? Atoms!.


This is my view, the non prejudice, dis-personified view of God!.




Love life, for what it is!. All the experiences you get in life, you do not get in death!. Is the illusion of free-will not enough!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Interesting Point!. Id imagine its like if I gave you a gun!. I handed you the opportunity to do bad with it, but in the end what you do with it is your choice!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

What if God has power, but choses not to use it!? The fact he gives us free will doesn't mean he couldn't control us, it just means that he doesn't want to control us!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
