I'm not so much \"God is in control of my life!\" Rather, I believe \"I am in control of my life, but I choose to use it in a way that honors this God that I believe exists. Cause he rocks and I love him! :D\" Its like having another parent for me I guess. I love him, try to obey him, but when I screw up it's okay too cause he loves me anyway. And parents aren't supposed to control your life, but rather want the best for you, otherwise they deprive you of free will. Since I believe that God created humans for the very purpose of giving us free will as free beings (he doesn't want robots), I don't believe that he wants to deprive us of that.<br /><br /><br />On Thu, Mar 4, 2010 at 10:03 AM, Sam Liu <samliu@holmdelforums.com> wrote:<br /> approve Haha thanks Ash, that means a lot to me :)

Living a fatalistic life sounds like one of the most depressing things in life, even more so when your actions are not considered to be under your own jurisdiction/control. I don't want to start a religious debate here, but I agree totally with your philosophy. It's your life that you are responsible. I also believe that you are an awesome guy and fundamentally a good guy at heart- don't sweat it too much Sam, I support you! o/ I am not a Christian myself, but this was one of the biggest beefs I had with Christianity.
