You are responsible for you
A rock thrown from your hand, crashes through a window and breaks it. You threw it on purpose. There could be any number of reasons (even entirely legitimate ones) why you threw the rock, but the facts are the facts. You threw a rock, the window is now broke and you did it. You can blame it on error, the wind, and dumb luck or you can claim it to be an accident, however the facts do not change because you do not like them.
You threw the rock and it is your fault the window is now broken.
This is a negative example of the thanking God theory from the previous post. It stands to reason that if the winning hit in a baseball game is due to Gods divine intervention, then the rock being thrown and the window being broken is because God did not intervene? Or is it because free will dictates the outcome?
I think it is more likely that the hitter practiced a lot and the pitcher threw a pitch that the hitter could hit. I don’t think it had a lot to do with intervention. God may have set him up for the hit by allowing his mind to be clear , by allowing his body to exercise, by keeping him focused and giving him good eyesight, but ultimately I think when he stepped into the batters box, God pretty much said “OK kid, lets see what you’ve got”.
The hitter (or the rock thrower) is responsible for the outcome.
The CEO got a Hummer because he convinced a bunch of other rich people to allow him to have the money to get one.
A team wins, a CEO gets rich, a murderer kills and a rapist rapes because they choose at some level to do so. The same factors are in play in most every case, with very little exception. Mental illness may be one area where this does not apply as handily, but then you have to believe that it is our divine self interest to have people wandering around committing mass murder.
Life is a series of choices. We come upon “T’s” in the road all them time. If we go left we shoplift a candy bar. If we go right, we pay for it. Simple as that and inescapable at the same time. You are responsible for you. You win, your fault. You lose, your fault. You don’t play, again, your fault.
Easy – Peezy. Nothing to it.
