If you do, does that thing work out or does it crumble?

I try my best to seek God in everything , but sometimes I find myself making decisions without Him and it usually turns out bad. More than one time a person would ask me to do something and I quickly agreed. After that in my car God spoke to me and said "You never asked me" and He told me to go back to that person and tell them that I couldn't do it.
That was embarressing!!!
I am learning every day to follow His voice and to stay in His perfect will.

Yes I do. I was given a brain to think with, and a learning ability, and a conscience that society dictates. If I didn't use these tools I would be no better than a rock.
Besides that, those that ask God for direction- still make bad choices and it does crumble around them. The idea of "God backed" is to allow them to accept the negative results just as well as the positive ones....oh well, God wanted it that way.....without torturing themselves on making an error.
Me, if I make an error, there is no one else to blame but myself and I learn from it.

I make decisions without god, in exactly the same way that I make decisions without the Easter Bunny.
Decisions made from a valid preconception work out better than ones based on an invalid supposition: god's existence being an excellent example of an invalid supposition.
The astounding lack of proof of god's existence, even after all of the effort, strongly implies the lack of a god.
For some statistical assessment of the effectiveness of pro-god versus non-god decision making, compare the rate of improvement of the standard of living of highly religious/superstitious societies to that of those that have embraced reason & science.

Technically, everyone makes decisions without god because there is no god there to make decisions WITH. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't..... but you can't blame some invisible father figure if things do not go right.... just as you cannot credit said figure for things that go right. You are the one who is in control and if things go right or wrong you are the only one who can be credited/blamed for the decision.
People convince themselves that certain feelings they have or voices in their head or signs around them (Wind blowing, birds chirping, sun shining) are signs that god is helping them to choose what decisions they should make.
It's all a delusion. Everyone makes their own decisions, and there are no imaginary friends in the sky watching your every move and judging you on your thoughts.

If one assumes that God exists and is omnipresent, there really is no way to make a decision without God's being there. I can certainly choose to *ignore* what my conscience tells me is right, ignore God's wishes, and I have. It's the same as asking "Do I make decisions without consulting my sense of morality? How does it work out?" For me, guilt grows for having knowingly made the wrong decision. It crumbles my will toward doing the wrong thing, at the very least.

I never make decicions without god. The only way it will crumble is if its a bad decision. Otherwise, its a 50/50 chance.

I make ALL my decisions without god. Sometimes they work out and sometimes they don't (just like everyone).
The funny thing is that everyone makes their decisions all by themselves (without god) whether they are aware of it or not. I guess it's kind of like a child who thinks their daddy is holding on to the back of a bicycle, but really their doing it on their own.

I make every decision without god. Some work out well, some don't. From what I've seen, the same thing happens to those who choose to pray.

NO! Never! I never make a major decision with out asking for His will. To me it is just something I have to do because my belief and relationship with God. I can't say I always like his answers at the time but eventually I understand and glad things went as they did.
Those of you whom do not believe, my answer means nothing to you....and that is your choice. I gave my choice.
