Me: Those who depend exclusively upon faith to act as a defense against reality remind me of a number of things in history, some of which I’ve already commented on. I’m also reminded of Isaac Asimov‘s comment that when preachers railed against the use of the new lightning rods invented by Benjamin Franklin, there was a strange side effect. Many townsmen used the lightning rods to protect their homes. Those preachers who believed such use was defying God‘s will found the only buildings in town likely to be struck by lightning were those with tall steeples and no lightening rod. In other words, their churches.
By all means pray and turn to your faith to ease your fear, such comfort is good and helpful. But that does not mean you should treat God as if he is a magic wizard who will protect you even if you do foolish things. We are still responsible for the results of our own choices and conduct.
Pray and also take precautions.
S: Karma.
