Those that stopped on the tracks did so of their own free will. But there can be Devine Intervention. I believe you can be saved from your own screw up though Devine Intervention. <br /> <br />If you don't believe that, I'm not going to argue with you. It's your choice. But I believe that. And that's all I'm going to say here about that. <br />[/quote] <br />So is that Devine intervention from Andy Devine? Perhaps you meant divine intervention. In either case, you are the one that mentioned the god thing first; I was merely responding. <br /> <br />I get so tired with so many invoking god's name when it is convenient, but cannot accept the alternative. Things happen all day to everyone, albiet in differing degrees. Either everything that happens is god's will, or nothing is. When we ask for prayers from others for whatever reason, or pray ourselves, are we not trying to change god's mind, trying to get 'him' to do something other than what 'he' originally intended? <br /> <br />"Pray for my dad, because he is sick." If god's aid can be enlisted, then that implies that god exists. And if god exists, why does anyone have to suffer? Why did god let your dad get sick? <br /> <br />Why does not 'he' simply show us the truth about existence, instead of leaving us to struggle with 200 different "religions" around the planet, each claiming THEY have the answer? <br /> <br />You do not want religion in the trains forum? Then do not mention crap like devine (sic) intervention or other such nonsense.
