Do you ever feel that God has a plan, and you're the only one who can stop it?

If God exists,( and I emphasize " IF " because it's impossible for us to know one way or another ), it would naturally follow that God would be perfect.
A perfect God would naturally create a perfect universe. A perfect God would not create an imperfect universe. A perfect God would not be petty or trifling.
That means everything in the universe is perfect, including your life.
A perfect God would have no reason to change a perfect universe. God would also not allow you to change anything in that universe.
Perhaps God has a plan but God would not allow you to affect that plan, whatever it is.
So just get used to it.

So "Silly, Random & Fun" means "what" to you?

to Benthoven
Silly, Random, and Fun, are purely human constructs. Should God exist, it would be presumptuous of us to apply our attitudes to God.
The only guess I would make is that God would be quite serious about the universe and would create it for a specific purpose which serves God. We cannot expect God to change things around just because we are not happy.

Wow. You must be a lot of fun at parties.

We are the result of trillions of evolutionary accidents, random yet sufficient to survive in the prevailing environment. There is no plan just the ravings of the delusional. Eventually we will morph into yet another species or, more likely, snuff ourselves as just one more evolutionary experiment that fails. Unless we take every other life form on the planet with us we have no control over the process. The myth-makers who believe there is a "plan" are only trying to fill a hole in their understanding of the Universe for the sake of their own comfort. The Universe does not concern itself with our day-to-day travails except as they help or hinder our chances at evolutionary survival.

No plan at all, just a random mosh pit full of bumbling idiots! In great numbers there may be unity to change the direction of certain issues but we all know that's nearly inconceivable too. So I say party on and try not to cause too many bloody noses along the way.

If there's a divine plan, God has truly awful follow-through.

No plan-if there was a god he/she has absolutely no idea what he/she is doing.
