re: #70 wheat-dogg

It’s an attitude that has often puzzled me. Why does God need our help, if He can do everything? Are His actions contingent upon our participation? If we choose not to help, does God revoke his actions? I know these are deep theological issues, but as an atheist I find it’s much easier to assume there is no God and our only recourse is to help ourselves.

OTOH if there is a God and he did indeed choose Trump, WTF, God? Did you lose a bet with Lucifer or something?

We Episcopalians don’t have these concerns. as C.S. Lewis said to someone at a reading, “What on Earth makes you think God wants you to be happy?” God’s concerns and ours are two different things entirely.
