I'd have to say I disagree here. I operate more by the thought of the original quote-- If god wants me dead, he's going to put on in the middle of a plane crash or something. But when you consider the good people that die young (Martin Luther King Jr.) and the bad people that don't (Hitler), then you get into free will. God says-- It's going to snow and sleet today. I say-- I'm going to drive like a stupid idiot anyway. I die. Or look at a major catastrophe-- 300 people's times simultaneously come up?
Sometimes it's your fault, sometimes it's an accident, but I'm a big believer in free will-- god picks the time and place of an occurence, and you decide to react.
