You know, this is the first God spill you've ever presented that I haven't been appalled by. This is extremely well written and I even agree with parts of it. WHen you aren't hopelessly drunk, let's seriously discuss religion sometime. This is an amazing example of free will in action, btw: "That's why Hitler wasn't consumed by heavenly fire, and that's why NSYNC had a reunion tour." I am still not 100% sure on the existence of free will, but this largely has to do with several incidences of deja vou that really fucked with my head (I actually can't even remember what happened, I just remember I remembered, if that makes a damn bit of sense), combined with some astounding coincidences. I believe that the vast majority of choices that we make are of our own decision, but that there is some ingrained notion somewhere of what we should be doing, though humankind cannot necessarily explain where these notions come from and can choose to deny the inclination to act in a way that feels right. For example, when you decide to kiss someone randomly and then INSTANTLY know you've made a mistake, or fear going to an event because you somehow know something will go wrong, choose to go, and then regret going because something does go wrong, and, well, you knew it.
I just finished "And Where Were You, Adam?" by Heinrich Boell, and there was an extremely interesting notion of the use of prayer. One of the characters explains prayer as not a means of consoling humankind, but of consoling God himself for whatever reason.
