So, what you are telling me is that God truly holds the life of a mere sparrow in his hand and that the sparrow neither dies not lives without God's explicit decree (Matthew 10:29) but that God has no control whatsoever (other than the laws he set up) over how a man dies?
Does not God care for you, Pastor xzins, far more than he does for a sparrow?
"That wouldn't be very reassuring to me either."
I cannot even begin to understand how being resigned to Godless fate is somehow more reassuring than the comfort one has knowing that whatever happens is completely under God's providential control.
Seeing that you are a man of the cloth, Pastor xzins, just what kind of comfort do you preach to your flock? Do you tell them that they are S.O.LUCK if they happen to get into a car accident?
Do you instruct your flock to cease from praying to God for safety in travel because God does not control what happens to them as they drive in an automobile?????
Do you actually tell them that God does not control their safety as they travel to and fro in their automobiles?
On the contrary, the Biblical model is for us not to worry (Matthew 10:31) because God is in absolute control of everything.
