BETTING WITH GODS

There are several reasons why I am not willing to make a bet with God.
Primarily, He is an almighty and powerful deity capable of controlling
everything, including the outcome of a simple coin toss. Moreover, betting
is not encouraged in the Holy Bible. Considering this, I believe that any
result stemming from such a bet must serve a greater purpose.
Hypothetically, if I were to age 15 years instantly-making me 30 with the
abilities of a 15-year-old —I would likely struggle to adapt. Not only would
my appearance and physical health change, demanding additional efforts
to stay fit, but the challenge would extend to my social life. Reintroducing
myself to family and friends while adjusting to new social circles would
require considerable time and effort. Ultimately, the disparity in our
experiences and perspectives would likely create significant mismatches in
various aspects of life.
"God". Such a magical, mysterious, and miraculous...thing. The all-powerful
mystical "God" cannot be defined. “God" is absolute, and almost never
loses, only ever to chance, like that of a coin flip. If I was given the chance
to have a coin flip with “God”, for the chance of one wish, and the loss of
fifteen years of my life, I would, unlike many others, accept the challenge.
If I lost, then I lost, fifteen years of my life gone. There would be nothing I
could do except face the consequences, as I brought this upon myself. But
if I won the wish, I would wish for all my loved ones a long, healthy, and
happy life. I lost my grandmother when I was three months old to lung
cancer, we never even got to know each other. With my new powers, I
would make sure it never happens ever again.
