Even though I'm atheist I'll join this discussion.
One theory that makes sense to me is that everything that has happened and ever will happen cannot happen in any other way.
Due to physics, all natural things that happen cannot happen in a different way unless the laws of physics change.
You make decisions based upon your personality. Your personality is what it is because of how nature and other people have impacted you (and there's a big chain effect because those people's personalities were impacted too).
So never go "I could've", "what if", or "I should've", because it couldn't have happened any other way (unless the laws of physics were somehow changed).
Edit:
In essence we have no free will. Our choices are based upon people's impacts upon us which eventually boils down to nature's impact upon everything. And the laws of physics determine how nature works. Which means that the laws of physics control us.

"robbing"is a term to describe being forcefully stolen from, basically they force you to give them what they want by threatening you, usually with a weapon. What you described was just plain theft.
That aside, I would suggest these three procedures:
1. [B]Prepare[/B] - Prepare for the case of robbery, get special bags that prevent them. In other words, get those bags that take maybe ten seconds to open, which should delay the robber, and get bags which are cut-proof. Install "Find My iPhone" and turn on "Restrictions", in settings, turning the ability to delete apps [B]off[/B]. That's about as much as you can do besides using one of my crazy ideas that I won't talk about right now.
2. If it is a guy, kick him in the balls. If you have high heels, kick him with the heel part to inflict maximum damage. He should probably be moaning on the ground now. If he tries to get up, give him a Karate chop on the back of his neck. If he is armed nd dangerous, resort to jabbing the pressure points behind his ears. If it is a girl, grab her and hold her in place.
3. Use Find My iPhone to track down th culprit and arrest him/her.

These people are either stupid, extremists, or sheep. They call this "faith". Faith is believing in something that has absolutely no evidence that it is true.
These are the reasons why most people join adopt a religion:
-They are sheep and do what their friends do.
-They are forced to.
-They fear they will die, and in this moment of fear they go irrational and think that a religion that has false or no evidence can have a way for them to live again after death.
The problem is that no religion has sufficient evidence - the only evidence they do have is evidence that has no evidence for itself or is extremely unlikely or false.
But anyways, we shouldn't be deciding your religion for you. Find whichever one fits you best or find no one at all.

I am simply disproving false evidence that a god exists using logic. God could be possible, but I believe that unless God is going on vacation, what the Bible states is untrue. I am simply saying that what Christians believe to be evidence has many errors and does not make sense anymore unless God takes vacations.

I am Atheist. And you see, that makes me frown upon all religions. Because yes, there is no shortage of dimwits joining their ranks. However, I do feel that it is good that there are religions because not only do they tend to have good morals, but connect people together and give people one thing that everyone needs - hope. There is still a downside though, with people fighting, raping, and discriminating against people of a different religion. Just look at the Taliban, the Bosnian War, and World War II. These were mostly caused by religious differences. That is why I choose to remain Atheist.

Based on your preferences, I have located the religion you are looking for.
[spoiler=Your religion]Error - No suitable matches were found.
This is because there is no proof of any god(s) or goddess(es) ever existing. Sure, the Christians think they do with a 2000 year old book that could very likely be the work of an ancient prankster. Look at the world after all of the acclaimed stuff happened. Guess what? If God does exist, He has been doing absolutely nothing since the things in the Bible were written. Sure, there is Mary Baker Eddy, who supposedly woke up in a hospital claiming to have talked with God. Yet, she most likely dreamed of Him because she was all dinged up from what had happened.
The basic gist: No religion has any solid evidence that what they say is true.[/spoiler]

11 hours ago, Lysergic became a global moderator. 2 hours later, he promoted Sloal to moderator of Mafia Discussion. They both create threads with the same title format: (Name) the (moderator color). Coincidence? I think not.
Sloal is a well known troll that spams "MVP" at every oppurtinity. I believe the source of this is a haughty and egotistical behavior. Sloal is power hungry—you just gave him it—and now he will keep craving, keep wanting this power until he becomes insane. He is like the equivalent of Brendan in my eyes. I do not support his rise to power.
