Question aimed more towards Christians lol

Okay.

1.)Personal responsibility. Relegating willpower, consequence, and causation to a higher power is a copout.  About 7 years ago I thought it would be a good idea to kill myself by drinking a nice large glass of Draino.  Realizing it was stupid was what stopped me, not "God".  About 7 months ago I had the brilliant idea of cutting myself and playing with rat poison to prevent clotting.  Once again, it was my own choice not to do it.  Then about 2 weeks later I then had another idea of OM NOM NOMNOM NOM NOM'ing on anti depressants(don't take them they suck). It wasn't God that stopped me.  It was hallucinations and being dizzy, so I ended up at 1/4th the lethal dosage.     Attributing something you find within yourself to decide not to end your own life is demeaning to yourself and your capabilities. You, yourself, said that you don't have enough strength to do it by yourself.  But you did, and you should recognize it and use that strength to not let other stuff keep you down. Don't tell yourself that you are week and nothing without a deity offering his divine intervention.

2.)If God really was caring enough to help you not kill yourself, why wouldn't he just save your father instead?

1. You have a great point. But I don't think that it was just me that saved myself. I know for a fact that I wouldn't, and didn't, have enough strength to kill myself. I needed the distraction of my mom nearly walking in on me the first time, and then the common sense the second time. Remember, I was so depressed that I felt like it was the only way.
2. My dad couldn't live forever. He lived a great life, knew lots of people, fathered me and my little sister (and probably some Vietnamese kid...), and built several buildings through-out the area I live in. But my dad can't be Superman. He couldn't help it that he got cancer. And the way I see it, God wanted my dad to come to heaven.

Oh and to be fair God really does save some people.

If you put enough faith in him and truly believe in his power you will become a happier person.

Ignorance is bliss.

thats a given with your posts

[Daddy]

I just noticed I said "week" and not "weak"


2.)So, if a person lives, that is God's intervention, but if they die it's God's will to bring them to heaven?  Why the hell did we stop the holocaust? Hitler was just helping God send jews to heaven or something.

Well, kinda...It really depends. Did you learn something from the experience (other than the fact that you're a suicidal lunatic and that drinking Draino is a bad idea...)? Did you come out a better person at the end? If yes, devine intervention.

And, yes, when people die, it is God's will to bring them to heaven. But there's still a difference between murder and natural death.

I am crazy;______;  also not really.

no, the better person part probably came up after developing some personality and anxiety disorders after years of abuse. 
idk if it's divine intervention that i have panic attacks in some situations.

What about George Carlin?

But there's still a difference between murder and natural death.

People can only claim God's intervention for one?

Personal problems aside...Hell, I don't know.
