We have free will to see and do what we want. God gave it to us for us to learn from. And because of that free will, God steps in at that split second opportune time to change the course of reality. Constantly seeing the world thru our eyes and making small adjustments to not only teach us but to also steer the course of this reality.
The world has a way of forming around your thoughts. Just like a police officer that sees a traffic violation where you just glance and shake your head. If the majority don't have some form of God in their heads then that gives rise to no accountability in the minds of weak people. Believing in a person or force who you will be reporting too after this life is all said and done seems to be necessary for our current state of evolution. Kind of like having a police officer in your head quietly whispering "hey, maybe don't do that".
The Kid Rock song "Don't tell me how to live" comes to mind.
