Trust in God, but lock your car! Is this the same as saying, I`m not superstitious but........?

Question

Mononoke... I resent your remarks. I hope they are not meant unkindly. I am not an atheist. . My question has nothing to do with religion. You have misconstrued it. Others have taken it for what I mean... Don`t attack people without cause.

Answer 1

Yes, similar. It means while you trust some things to God, common sense also needs to play a part.

Answer 2

I think it means that you can trust in God to help you, but you have got to meet Him halfway.

Answer 15

Loudspeaker vans came round the town, announcing an impending flood. Mr. Faithful ignored them.

The police knocked on his door. He told them it was no problem, he had faith

The water started rising, he went up to his upper floor. A fire-engine came, and he was invited to come down the ladder, He told them he had faith.

He was forced onto his roof by the rising water. The navy sent a boat, but he would not get in, because he had faith.

The water was round his ankles. The air-sea rescue sent a helicopter, but he would not have anything to do with it. He had faith.

After a last Glug, he went to a better world. 'What happened?', he asked 'I  had faith and you let me down.'

The answer came: 'I sent the police and you wouldn't listen.' I sent the fire-service and you wouldn't take their help. I sent a boat and you wouldn't get in. And I sent a helicopter and you ignored it.'

Answer 16

I agree with the quote . You must still lock your car in case someone steals it.  It won`t be God .   the superstition part is similar as you can walk under a ladder and have a pot of paint fall on your head, that is not Gods fault.. I see where you are coming from.

Answer 17

You put forward one step towards God, He will put hundred steps to reach you.
