Wow...all I can really say is, ditto. You basically described how I feel, yet never knew how to put it. I tend to feel the exact same way...God probably did create everything, but he then left the fate of the world in our hands. Decisions are ours to make, and there isn't necessarily always a reason that's part of a grand plan. And the notion that God serves as a source of hope for many people...couldn't agree more. Well put...very well put.
