But, as the loneliness implies, Donnie is the center of it all.  He is somehow i"n God's channel."  He is the only one with the power to change the future.  He has the option to prevent all the suffering that would have happened had he been alive by mastering the system of the time warps and setting himself to die.  He was getting better at it as time went on...he learned (maybe through memorixzing the paths) to see everyone's future path.That is what he was debating in his mind, what he referred to to the shrink, who suddely started talking about God.  People (except Pascal) rarely weigh the pros and cons of believing.  What he was weighing was wether he was ready to die for the sake of everyone he loved.</blockquote>
