I couldn't agree more.
Why does the existence of a god (which I'm not personally taking as given) necessitate that everything occurs according to his/her/its will? Isn't it just as likely that he (for the sake of simplicity I'll just revert to "he" from here on out) created the world, set it in motion, and said "hmm...let's see what happens?"? I've never understood why people insist on seeing either predestination or divine intervention in events that could just as well be explained by simple coincidence or other causal explanations. Is it a matter of psychological utility? What does it "give" you to believe that god is behind every little event?
