I have an odd pov I think.
I used to wanna give my life to God, then I went through things that changed everything about how I think. I learned not to trust mans word. & Imo.. religion & everything in it is all man's word. Maybe God did speak through them.. I truly don't know. But I choose not to put my faith in anybody telling me how to live & instead choose to believe in being a good person. Because if there is a god out there & he's good like they say, how could I have ever been wrong by simply being a good person?
I do pray at times & I treat it like a regular conversation just to talk... because I don't know who I'm talking to. Maybe it's a woman, maybe a man, maybe an it. Or maybe there's 20. But I hope
& The way I see death is a whole other story. But I've faced it many times & I don't fear it anymore. What I fear is not living my life before that happens

God wants us to be good people. I’m sure that’s all he really wants. I know God doesn’t want us to hurt others. In my religion it’s believed that God forgives everything except intentionally hurting others. Talking out to God is actually therapeutic. All of us want to live and we deserve to live the way we want to. God helps those who help themselves and he might make it even easier if we have faith in him. @ChiefJustWalks

@SW-User I kinda think that's actually one thing that all religions have in common as well.. they might worship different things but at the end of the day it's about being a good person 🙏

@ChiefJustWalks Only God is good... Every human being falls short in the being good department..
