we decided to move house and after having our offer accepted the people selling decided to take it off the market ,we were gutted ,it was a lovely house and in a place we really liked .6 momths later it flooded so badly when the river burst its banks it had to be demolished .My lovely husband who is not superstitious or religious said that there was someone looking out for us and since then there have been quite a few times when things have gone not how we wanted but turned out to be for the best and he has repeated that statement.Do you believe that you have a guardian angel ? He says its his lovely gran who he adored and who thought the sun shone out of him too .Me... I just think we were lucky

Lazigirl , for me I believe people do good because they choose to and with the exception of mental illness they choose not to

Ana, hsve you never heard anyone say - where was God, when we hear of s child harmed? Perhaps I hear it far more but I hsve heard it often

I understood Ana's post to reflect her feeling that people are quick to blame God when things go wrong, rather than put the responsibility where it often lies, with humanity.
No doubt Ana will put me right if I misunderstood. I'm often a bit surprised by the ease with which some people with criticise those with faith, or suggest there can't be a God because everything isn't all sunshine.

We can lay that at the foot of Satan Ana, the fallen angel.

Or the satanic forces inside every one if you like!

I don't know whether there is a God or not and don't want to criticise others who do believe, but I would need to have some good logical reasoning before accepting there is a supernatural power at work. I find the Free Will Argument very difficult.

despite being raised an RC ,I dont really believe in God or angels and certainly not the fairytales called the bible or any other "holy book" In all honesty if there is a god he/she/it is a very strange being to allow the suffering thats happening and has always happened in the world in his/her/its name .Now if peace broke out tomorrow I might think again .But its been interesting to see others opinions,

I do believe in God, am a practising Christian, but I see goodness and kindness coming from those with faith and those without faith .

What really convinces me, is the likes of baby P. No sign of any guardian angel for that little soul, either human or heavenly.

I am with Durhamjen on the "believe it or not" as you wish. I do not believe in such things but if it helps you feel comforted or whatever then enjoy that feeling.
