No, I'm asserting that its often the case that when individuals want something specific for themselves (e.g. some political fight) they claim to know God's will, but they admit they don't when the world becomes confusing. If God exists and has a will, none of us is privy to it. I submit that it is therefore a ridiculous position to appeal to God on specific issues, and all that remains to aid in decision making is the conscience that each of us possesses. Some religious institutions have gone to great lengths to close some perceived loopholes in their dogma (for example, the "Just War Criteria"). I was wondering if any theology exists to help explain why it is ok to assert that God wants X sometimes, and that we don't know what God wants at others.
