Christians tend to believe that God "speaks" to them on a regular basis. I'm not talking about hearing voices, just that God helps out in small (and sometimes huge) ways. The non-believer writes these events off to chance. Or, explains the relief/confidence/love in other ways.

If my mother has a flat tire and someone happens along to help her, she credits God with watching over her. That explanation is comforting to her. (Although I don't believe the same things, I don't mean to be condescending. I actually have some admiration for those who can give themselves over to Faith. I just hope I'm never one of those people... [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] )
