22. I read that the same way.. I guess God is selective.
My problem with people that think God answers prayers: You have a pediatric ward in a hospital. 2 children are on the brink of death. Both families are praying. 1 child dies, the other lives. Okay.. did the family not pray hard enough? Did God favor the other kid? Or shall we use the trite excuse.. "God needed more angels"??

In my belief, there is a spiritual energy in all people which can be used for good. Life is random, our lives are no more pre-ordained or watched over than the ant we accidentally squash on the sidewalk.
