Boathouses, right? Those stories are very challenging to having faith. I also think that a lot of the people preaching about God constantly just are annoying in a way.

And what I really mean by annoying is that they can't seem to have a conversation without God in it. And it's difficult sometimes when you just want to talk about something and all they want to talk about or tell you about is God.

I mean, it's literally in scriptures and Bibles and Korans, you know what I'm saying? It's just more accepted back in the day for you to do certain things than it is now because of the culture. But I mean, it's still the same.

You know, I want to accept everybody, love everybody. That's why I'd rather you just do what you do. And I'll respect you for what you do, you know?

Yeah, people believe in God and love God, but they disregard his rules and the things that he's asked from us. So I think that's the disconnect is that we love God, but we don't want to obey him.

Now I understand there could be churches and certain religions that, you know, try to get people to dumb down and be stupid and not be aware. So self-awareness is key, I believe. Self-awareness is key. And don't get caught up in it.

Why in the world does God need us to do anything for Him? That's one thing. He's all-powerful, all-knowing, all everything, but we need to do like, pray to Him. We need to praise Him, we need to idolize Him only.

And there's plenty of people out there who don't believe in God but still obey those rules because they are obvious rules, you know.

Just like how you would show respect to a boss, or just like how you show respect to your father, those are the things that we do by praying and loving him and putting him first. That's how we show our appreciation for him giving us life.

Without him, we are nothing. So again, you don't have to believe in none of the things that I believe in. It happened for me. It took me 32 years to realize this, and it might take you a few years to realize it yourself. But if it's meant to be, you will understand these things.

You don't know how many times I was in your position and I thought the same way you did. Why show respect and praise a god that kills people and hurts people? I felt the same way, brother. I understand. I respect your opinion, but it's not the right way.

Yeah, so we're gonna be obedient to an entity who starts a whisper down the lane game thousands and thousands and thousands of years ago. And we can't get an accurate whisper down the lane game to go three people without getting shit.

Now in modern times to subscribe to the concept of God is to subscribe to the mentality of Europeans Whether that's a good thing or bad thing I think for African people or any non-European person that's a bad thing

I've had significant others before who believed in God and who were fully Christian or Catholic. We never got into arguments about religion though because we didn't try to shove our religions or beliefs down each other's throats.

You know, I find it funny when people say that people that are religion or believe in God force and push it upon other people when everyone else forces everything on everybody else. So I don't understand.

I don't understand where you're upset that people try to talk about the things that they believe in. If I believe in God, I'm gonna talk about it. If you believe in your sexuality, you're gonna talk about it. If you believe in astrology, you're gonna talk about it. So I don't understand what the issue is.

Obviously I do agree, nobody should force you to do anything or make you believe in something you don't want to. It has to happen naturally. But for people to say that only religion people or people of God force things upon people is asinine.

The LGBTQ community liberals, everybody forces agendas upon everybody. So it's not just one sided. Everybody does it.

I see your point and I'm not saying that everyone who is religious does it because they don't like I dated a Christian man before I did a Catholic man before they never forced their religion on me

And everyone's entitled to speak freely about their beliefs. I have no problem with that. I have no problem with people talking about what they believe in. It's the people that talk about what they believe in and then say, if you don't believe in it then you're you know you're evil and you're going to help.

And I personally have only ever dealt with religious people forcing their views down my throat. I've never had LGBT or liberal or any of those type of people shove their beliefs down my throat.

Yes, I have my own quarrel with religion and Christianity and Catholicism, but I'm not saying everyone is like that, because obviously there's billions of people in the world, not everyone is like that.

I don't care what somebody believes in. I really don't. Like, if it makes you happy and you're content with your life, believing in what you believe in, that's amazing. I'm happy for you. But I don't appreciate when people are like, well, if you don't believe in this, then you're screwed.

I think that it's important that if you are a Christian that you actually walk in the way that God really wants and that means and love not just I don't know how to cause drama
