Yeah. I didn't use to be but now I am, and I'm very happy about it. And why? Because God guides whom He wills, I guess. 😅
And fuck everyone else, right? Including literal children with terminal cancer.
Sorry kids, God didn't will it. You gotta die painfully at 4 years old.
? God guided me so I have an opportunity not to damn myself and end up in Hell. Cancer is just another feature of this imperfect universe (if you want it differently, you have to go to Heaven), and these kids have pure souls and will meet the Creator and enjoy peace. Of course we mourn them because they left us, but just like in the case of adults, we have to make peace with the fact that every day is a gift and without God making this entire universe we wouldn't even have had a second of consciousness, so be grateful. And haven't you heard the story of Abraham? There's a way to process the death of your child better, but it'll take faith in God.
Also, everyone else? My man, all the information is freely available and you even have silly folks like me online trying to direct people to a better path... you're already being helped, you're already bombarded with calls to be mindful of God. When the Day comes and you stand in front of Him, don't say you were not warned. 🤷
It's funny that you think shit like this is convincing.
It's like telling an adult that one day Santa Claus is going to judge us.
Just stop. Grow up. Put away your childish beliefs and join the real world.
🤷
That’s Awesome! How long have you believed in God and how did he meet you?
Eh, I would say about 4 or so years in earnest but by then I was already a big fan of the words of Jesus and Solomon, I just disregarded the parts that talked about God, lol. And through my now wife, although it was more circumstantial: she's Muslim but not like a preacher who "convinced me", we had even reached the middle ground of me doing the rites but not believing... and then one day it clicked. 👍
