As an "out and proud" Christian, yes I do believe that God guides me. I don't for a minute think that that I can understand why the Immortal and Omniscient (who presumably lives outside of time and can thus see the end from the beginning without impinging on my free will or personal responsibility in the slightest) is doing so.
Maybe God, in infinite wisdom, is guiding Carrie Lam to make an ass of herself. Who knows? Whatever, only the ultimate judgment can tell.
(if you prefer the karma theory, what sort of people might the current inhabitants of HK have been previously??)
