Okay, .. : -) so you agree that you have to make an effort yourself to get anywhere in life, and that the more effort you put in the more you get out.

Sometimes you can put all your efforts into something and still get skrewed.. thats just life.

So the faith in God, is more or less like a little added extra comfort and feeling of security that you just cant do with out...

I would say that because you have faith in God, because you know that he will help you along your path, you will have less negative thoughts to hold you back from what ever it is you choose to venture after. Because you know God to be behind you backing you all the way.. you have less fear at failing.. if you have no negative thoughts to hold you back, and you have no fear to get in the way of your ambitions, then you are already moving in the right direction and have more chance then succeeding, then a person who is full of doubt and worry.

So even if God doesnt exist.. I guess you have nothing to loose, because your belief puts you in the right frame of mind to chase your dreams.

So in my opinion there is nothing wrong with how you live your life, and I wouldnt judge you anyway, but I just see things differently, my aim would be to put myself in the same frame of mind free of negativity and fear, looking and beleiving that I will attain what i set out for, without the need to believe in something outside myself for intervention on my behalf.

And you know what, if I fail, tough... thats how it goes,as long as you put in your best effort.
