The more our beliefs align with reality it allows us to make the best possible decisions here in the real world. Religion and Faith goes directly against that. It lets them believe whatever they wish to be true. It also lets them believe things that conflict with other Faith beliefs. There is no actual method to accept the claims of holy books or think that any gods exist without that Faith. They use that Faith to make up their world view and to "answer" what are supposed to be the most important questions.

I had a beard for many years, but it started turning grey (only the beard, not the hair on my head). The color change was not at all symmetrical, so I shaved it off, and now I look 10 years younger.

Painting them is only fair. I think it'd be uninclusive to make anything for the visually impaired have no colors. Even if you're blind, you want your stuff to look good.

Which of course makes me wonder why the hell they didn't paint it...

I'm really just trying to figure out the verse.

You will keep Him in perfect peace: God is chill

Whose mind is stayed on You: God be thinking about you

Because He trusts in you: God trusts you

So does this basically mean "God thinks about you, and is chill because he trusts you"?

I was going to offer this same warning. They did it recently to my aunt’s car. It was an older car and they don’t make the wiring harness for it any more so insurance ended up totaling it on her. (I then spent two hours with a ton of crimp connectors painstakingly matching everything up and splicing in new wire to repair it. She used the insurance money to repair the shocks on the car)
