[QUOTE="Glass*Soul, post: 61315458, member: 111155"] Even if that means having your house blown off its foundation. Even with you in it. If it's [I]for the best[/I]. "Que sera sera" seems to works as a form of self comfort whether you add a God in or not. Not adding the God in makes it less diminishing to the individual. I think. At least, without the God added in, you are not a deliberate cog in a wheel of obscure divine purpose. Not a vessel of wrath. When I first joined this website there was a poster whose little girl prayed for her beloved Auntie to live. The mom's faith was tested when the Auntie died, until later when the cat wandered off, was prayed for by the little girl, and returned in a couple of days. OK. Whew. God answers prayer after all. :confused: Seems dissonant and cold comfort to me. I'd rather just take life as it is. The hurricane takes my house or not. It's just a phenomenon. My value as a human being is not diminished either way. [/QUOTE]
