>   of the choices we don't make, as well as the choices we make.
>   Therefore; at least in the mind of God, the courses we don't make
>   have consequences known by God and they exist in God's 
> consciousness,
>   therefore, there are countless "stories" existing in God's mind that
>   never occurred in life, since those choices were never made by us.

>   Think about THAT for a while.
