No. I cop to my own mistakes and celebrate my own victories. The devil didn't make me do something nor did a god help. Throw down your crutch and dance in your own light.

Absolutely not. I am the captain of my own destiny, and I succeed or fail on my own merits and by my own hand.

Did you intentionally misspell farce?
To the Christians, let the farce be with you!

Of course I also voted no. I wonder what the numbers would be if it was asked of the general public. I suspect the yes vote would be 80 or 90% as a guess.

I see "higher power" as something very different from "higher force".
Some people don't need to acknowledge that anything is "higher" than their own ego because they are getting along fine with just their ego. Others are not doing so fine. And those people can call upon a higher power to help them understand what is going on and deal with things functionally.
What I am talking about is untapped potential. Nothing supernatural - just the parts of you that are dormant and/or covered up by too many thoughts.

Yes I do! No crutch, no coincidence, I've had my prayers answered and benefited from God's love many times.
