Eh. The US is still very religious. Try running for president as an atheist.

I completely understand how it can be a coping mechanism, but that only works if you believe it. If you stop to think why God would allow millions to die horribly while saving a select few, or why he allows suffering at all, or how he could be omnipotent while we also have free will, or which God is the real God, etc., then believing in it enough to actually draw any peace from that belief is pretty tough.

Everyone loves a comeback story! Change is in our nature. We are the most adaptive species on the planet.

Don’t let someone’s admission that “I will never change” become an iron law in your mind of “people never change”. They change all the time!

Change is rarely comfortable though. So your fears are reasonable. Marines are fun but they aren’t exactly known for their people skills….

Heaven is what you mix all the days of your life, but you call it dreams. You have one chance to buy your Heaven with all the intents and ethics of your life. That is why everyone considers Heaven such a lovely place. Because it is dreams, special dreams, in which you exist. What you have to do is live up to them.

Theres a reason people living basically anywhere but first world environments post penicillin,. Almost entirely believe ING of. The alternative, that everyone you love and work so hard to protect can just be extinguished, for all eternity, for absolutely no good reason, at any moment, is not really compatible with just going about your life. It's highly demotivating, at the least.

We can manage without God because we've built such a. Technologically advanced environment that we can generally expect for us and our children and loved ones to live to a heap to h old age.

Yeah, I completely disagree, I'm in IT and like 60% of my work is just copying someone else's code from stackoverflow or a repo, I get paid well over a $100k to do that, so to hell with this quote 🤣🤣🤣
