Do you believe in a higher being? If so, does this higher being have absolutely no control or say in what happens in the world? I believe Christians, Jews, Muslims and pretty much all other religions in the world believe in divine control and intervention in our world. Why do you think people pray? If that went out of style in Ancient Greece, then 99.99% of the world must be pretty old fashioned.
I am not "blabbering" about it, I mentioned it only once and that was in response to a question as to my personal opinion as to why Israel has repeatedly won so many impossible victories.
