To attribute this kind of stuff to God seems so ignorant to me. It's like practicing some ancient superstition. If events unfold a certain random way, you live. If they don't, you die. May as well attribute it to the order you put your socks on or some other inconsequential action. What about the people who don't make it in those situations? Does God see them as useless, or hate them, or what?

Or maybe Lady Luck has shined upon you, or Hope from Pandora's box has latched onto you, or maybe Zeus is saving you, or could it be Ra?

OMG OS is going to be the next Hitler

God has nothing to do with it, trust me when I say this, I have been brought back from the dead twice in my life, there is no God.

What makes you so certain?

Probably because he died and was revived twice and never saw God.

You know, it's easy for you guys to sit in your comfortable chair in the safety of your home and poo poo what just happened to me. Take a walk in my shoes by doing this. Russian roulette, but with 3 bullets instead of one. Put the gun to your head and pull the trigger twice.

I'm not a particularly religious person myself, but I can't help but wonder after all this. Maybe the word "God" offends some of you. Fine. Some of you are attributing it to coincidence, luck, fortune, fate instead. Why is it ok to believe those are valid reasons and not anything religious? They're all fundamentally unprovable. I'm not saying I know for a fact God exists but I can't help and wonder if someone or something is watching out for me.

I'm kind of afraid to leave the house now. About 2 months ago, a truck pulling out of a parking lot side swiped me. These last two accidents were not my fault (rolling the car was my fault), so at the same time I also get this feeling someone is trying to put me down. :Q

I met a man who has legally died and been revivded by paramedics three times. #1 was a lightning strike (he lives in a rural area . . all flat, few trees) #2 was a car wreck involving Nitrous Oxide (pushed the red button at the wrong time . . . ) and #3 was another lightning strike.

Thats right, he has been hit by lightning twice, proving that old adage to be a flat out lie.

why does lighting always seem to strike people more than once after they have been hit?
