Possibility of "Fate"

I would like to write this section in contrast to the last section which is currently on my blog.

Here, I want to expand on the possibility of God- or in fact any superior being or force- truly actively taking part in the shaping of the world.

No, this does not mean that I believe in Jesus Christ. Frankly, if I were to be honest, I would say that, in all likelihood, Mary cheated on Joseph with another man.

That said, allow me to explain to you what I mean. I believe that if- and I do mean if, as there is truly no proof of this- there is a superior being who watches over us, there is absolutely no way that we can prove they have not actively had a hand in our Earthly affairs. Whether it be the weather (as the "Kamikaze" winds have protected Japan from, most notably, invading Mongols, in the past), or shaping someone's judgment without any evidence to the subject of these changes- perhaps causing the failures of some of the world's military leaders who have attempted the create a worldwide empire (Hitler, Alexander the Great, etc), there is absolutely no way in which we can prove that, in fact, God or God's equivalent has not changed our world to protect us or to suit Him (from now on, I will use the capitalized pronoun "He" when referring to any one or thing which is Godlike).

If He is so powerful, would it not be child's play for Him to use discretion, and keep His actions secret from us lower life forms?

I am not claiming that He has certainly used His powers to help us; nor am I even saying He Himself (once again, referring to any vastly superior being) exists. However, I would like to impress upon those of us who read this blog with an open mind that believing in one thing does not have to close your eyes to others- and there is no reason not to believe in a guiding presence in our world, regardless of what presence that may be.

(I would also like to mention here that although I choose to believe in God, I do not believe him omnipotent, nor entirely omniscient. I also do not believe that he himself calls himself God, as that would be presumptuous of me; however, as I do not know what He would be called, I choose to use the most recognizable name. The capitalized pronouns are for your easier understanding, as well as to make writing this post massively less time consuming.)
