Which you have felt was touched by God?

I've lost count how many things I've said or done which was influenced by God.

From walking senior citizens to stores, to helping out folks. Heck, even the last car I bought.

I firmly believe God wants me to walk a certain path. I just keep asking him for guidance.

It's amazing how powerful the mind works to create a feeling of contentment.

Well there have been a couple close calls as far as my life was concerned, but I didn't attribute my survival to God or anything like that. There may be something out there keeping an eye over me, but who knows what that may be.

It's amazing how the mind generates the emotion of faith to compensate for what it cannot predict or find a solution to.

:confused: faith is not an emotion. it's a belief.

Before you start bashing religion, at least try to get your facts straight.

My bad.

In all seriousness I've had that feeling too, don't know that it was "god's hand", but sometimes things just feel "right".

He's just nitpicking -- it's more a delusion than an emotion.

i think the mods should ban all religion threads.

fvcking pointless flamewars/crap that go on in threads such as these.

Or at least rename politics and news to politics and religion.

I saw someone like you on some exorcism movie. That character was one of the first to go.

Well - life's going pretty good on my side of the intarweb, thank you very much.
