I know this is meant to be a casual conversation and this topic can get deep fast, but I’d love to hear everyone’s elevator pitch for their religion or lack thereof. peace and love<3

    ? 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. 🤷
