As I enter into a highly prosperous present and future, I must reiterate that it was my own determination and actions that brought it about... not God. And... I think that's God's plan. Indeed.. I doubt very seriously if the hard, evangelical right would argue with me about that point.
After all, they have been watching my every hiccup like a hawk to see of God would FINALLY put me in my place... because I dared to question religion and point out the hypocrisy of his church. Their worldview MUST have a "good" side and a 'bad" side, which typically is whatever side that differs than their own image or preference. That's how diversity... different lifestyles or cultures than theirs .. becomes an evil thing that must be silenced and exiled.. or controlled.
I've given them a lot of reasons to find me "evil" by defending witches, gays, trans people, opposing political parties, minorities and poor people. So, my success, instead, must confuse them. Every other day, I see people say that GOD will deliver and prosper them. Most, actually, live lives with as much challenge that I face or more. I chose, instead, to follow a logical path that says... well... to get to this destination I need to walk (myself) in that direction by doing A, B, C, etc. Then, when I get there without the sky falling on me, they have to either say I should thank God for the results of my logical actions that brought it about or that the "devil" brought it about... because if MAN is responsible for their own lives, they would have a lot to answer for and a lot to do.
In the end of The Adjustment Bureau, the divine like figure rewrites "the plan" that had tried to separate them, because the couple chose to do it, anyways... and the movie concluded that maybe that was the plan, all along.. that we take responsibility for our own lives.
So.. hopefully, my life will serve as inspiration that if you're tired of praying without results that maybe "God" is waiting for you to make decisions and take actions in your own life... and thank yourself that you had the wisdom and will to finally be a mature human.
