I know others have said as much, but, wow, I kind of can't believe you said that.
Actually, what TL said pretty much follows pretty directly from any belief in God, gods, or pervading universal consciousness. I wouldn't call it self-important. Think about two sentences. "I always fall down when I jump up." And... "Things always fall down when thrown up." The first sentence could be considered to have a bit of self importance to it, and this is roughly analogous to what TL said. However, if you think about it, the second sentence is more what was meant. TL can correct me if I'm wrong.

So, if that was your point, John, then we recommend that way of thinking to everyone; it's not just me, or even just us.
Well, really, all I intended to address was Schraf's comments to the effect that believing that nothing it left to chance is self-centered.
