I'm surprised you didn't bring up Isaiah 13. Most people who are in question of God's actions do.

It's a hands-off policy. I don't believe God ever intervenes in man's affairs, and never speaks to people.

Yes, that's deism. It's the only -ism that makes any sense at all, to me.

Do you believe man is a free will creation of God?

Exodus is my favorite.

Man has free will, whether God created us or not.

So, let's see now. God is ALWAYS in control. Nothing ever happens that he doesn't want to happen. And he always lets you do whatever you want to do. And there is reason for everything that happens. And you want God not to let you do anything against his will.
