There's not much I can really do, it's in God's or fates hands.
holy shit this is like the 3rd time I was recommended a spoken bible verse video and the image of it was jesus sitting in the same position I was in.
I am just not sure about all this religious stuff, I don't really take that as a real sign or anything. I guess I believe in God to an extent but I am not entirely religious.
They say all these great and miraculous things will happen to you if you follow and believe in the scripture, but there is no evidence or proof that this is true. They might as well just keep saying over and over again "yes, this is good to believe and be an exemplary pious person" they keep saying it's God, but it's just them equating it with good, or being upstanding and not actually having divine miracles happening. It's not a science I don't think.
