I understand your point. A believer believes it was all a drama in which God was the director, and each played their assigned role, in accordance with His will. All of this is giving me a headache, particularly since my knowledge of religion, and the Christian religion, is not my strong suit. I feel more confident chatting about free trade, and school vouchers, and micro and macro economics, and psephology. Here I am just chatting among friends, almost none of whom agree with my perspective, and that is fine.

Well you said it earlier. Much of any religion requires great leaps of faith but, that is true of many human endeavors.
