Which would you find more scary, a universe without a god, or one ruled over by an all-powerful God?
Ive always felt more comfortable when someone who knows what they are doing is in charge. Humans fill the bill quite nicely in small roles...such as school principal, Bus driver, Store Manager, or such....but even when it gets to the point of President of a country, I do not trust human behavior totally. The idea of a God in charge of everything, including my own destiny, was unsettling before my conversion experience where I "met" God. In a Universe as big as the one we dimly conceive, I find comfort in a God in charge whom I have met but am only beginning to know.
