It's a good question....
On occasion I have found myself saying"ohhhh god please", " Oh god, Jesus fucking Christ please NO!", or sometimes even "OHHHH GOD!" right before busting a righteous load all over my girlfriend.
But (strangely) not wanting to sound intellectual about it, I know it is only my culture and my language that was shaping those thoughts, those words and ideas, they are not based upon anything real or tangible. If I found some kind of security in the idea of an omnipotent supernatural being that was overseeing my life, I know deep down that I would be fooling myself. Like a child and his/or her security blanket. Children's psychological research also points out that there is nothing abnormal about being attached to them. The research also claims in the United States, about 60% of children have at least some attachment to a security object. Which ironically is just a little less than the statistics of the "do you believe in god poll" on this website. I am not entirely sure if there is a correlation.
But children do not really ask you to believe in their blanket with them, much less force you to be with them and their blanket at gun or sword point.
Personally I find comfort being in control of my own situation no matter how terrible it is, even if it was me that put me there, or something totally out of my control. I want to be "driving my own car" so to speak, and not just "along for the ride". How it seems to me many religious people view their life, like everything is "gods will" and that individual has no say or any control in the matter. That mentality is so weak to me it's disgusting, like watching a heroin junky cook up with a spoon in front of you and shoot up. I get the same feeling of revulsion when I come across people like that.
But I digress....I suppose the short answer is No, because even if the idea makes me feel warm and fuzzy, deep down I know it is a false hope, if not an outright lie. No one is going to help you except for yourself, and the sooner you come to that understanding the more honest and better you will be to yourself.
