BTW - I dont buy that God will protect those who make unwise choices - ex. expecting God to protect them even if they purposely walk in front of a moving vehicle or jump off a cliff.
God gives people brains so they can use discernment to avoid making unwise decisions but allows them to do so,. It allows them (and others) to appreciate and exercise their free will yet learn from their mistakes. 'Just how the world works and part of the human experience - play stupid games, get stupid prizes.
