An old theologian friend of mine said that the question of God was not really about His existence. He felt that the existence of God was practically self-evident. The real question, he said, was this: Is He friendly?
Results so far are mixed.
I have been, and am, grateful, very, to have a chance to build a relationship with The Boyo. A major reason to decide for "friendly."
Sed contra, as Thomas Aquinas would say, there's my carma. I have terrible luck with cars. In the last 11-12 years that I have owned cars, they have been involved in a lot of accidents. Two of them were while moving, but I was neither driving nor in the car at the time. My ex was.
All the other mishaps, break-ins, thefts entire, and, most often, body damage came while the cars were sitting, parked on a local street, absent a driver.
Latest thrill. A drunk driver sideswiped my latest parked vehicle, bought used 2 years ago to replace the other one that was stolen and stripped. He also ran away from the scene. While I was waiting for the police report so I could report that to the insurance company, the battery gave out. I took it to a local garage and they had to do some extra work on the breaks and electricals to the tune of $540.
Today the insurance adjuster looked at my just-repaired vehicle's body damage and told me it was likely going to be written off as a total loss.
So I will likely lose my car, one I just threw money at, and get a check small enough to make buying another one unlikely.
A major effing inconvenience which I ascribe to the Deity, along with all my carkarma, and so here He's rates an "unfriendly."

You can keep the car, it will be listed as salvage, you will only be able to insure for liability, they won't cover any damage to the car.
My car was in a minor fender bender but was too old for the insurance company.
They wanted to scrap it, I wanted it for my kid, the perfect solid car for a 16 year old. He drove it for 2 more years, no problem. Then we donated it to charity.
