It might be more appropriate to say that he is angry at God for choosing as many as he did and this causes him to decide that God must not exist and then he figures if there is no God then what's the point of anything and he will stop going to work and start sinning and then by the next day he believes God exists again but I still think he is angry at him. He tries not to be angry at God but he can't really help it and since he doesn't want to stay angry at God in God's universe he jettisons God from his. So far I think my best realization from posting is that I should try to get him on another course for study. I might give him "History of the Work of Redemption" by Edwards. It has been a while but I think that was a pretty good book. I think
overly focusing on systematics has a tendency to make one cold hearted, at least it does me.
