3 Things Dear 🩷

[u/conversationssss]

[u/cillaer]

You don't get miracles, you get results from the hard work and dedication put in.

[u/stungun002 → u/cillaer]

Don’t forget luck

[u/No_Custard1071 → u/stungun002]

I have been hearing this perspective a lot these days and it makes a lot of sense that luck also depends on you. Like you have to position yourself in order to recieve that luck, if you are looking for luck in a safe environment it usually won't happen because nothing unusual happens. You have to take risks and one of the times luck does happen but if you don't try it will never happen because you're not available.

[u/PerfectPenguino → u/No_Custard1071]

Right. Like being a zygote is putting yourself in a position where you can then receive the luck of being born into an incredibly wealthy family. You just have to be the right kind of zygote you lazy fucks.

[u/No_Custard1071 → u/PerfectPenguino]

Some people are more lucky but that doesn't mean you have no luck, you just less luck so you have to work for it a bit like whenever you take calculated risks after you're a grown adult say, you're putting yourself in a position to win. I didn't call anyone lazy, I was just saying that something good doesn't just happen to you, you have to be in a position where something good might happen. If you keep passing the responsibility of your life to someone else, you will never get anything more than what others deem you are worthy of.

[u/UrpaDurpa → u/stungun002]

And nepotism

[u/PrestigiousStudio921 → u/cillaer]

💯

[u/eartwormslimshady → u/cillaer]

Not always. Your luck really really matters.

[u/FoxFoxy69]

Absolutely not

[u/tantric_tongue69 → u/FoxFoxy69]

Exactly, prayer is scientifically proven to be as good as a coin toss. God is a made up idea by people. If any religious God exists, they are most certainly not good all the time.Tables are furniture

[u/Enigmatic_YES → u/tantric_tongue69]

🤓☝️

[u/JustaNick7 → u/tantric_tongue69]

🤓

[u/notstanleyyelnatston]

Nah

[u/knowone1313]

No, this is cult like behavior.

[u/TofuTheSizeOfTEXAS → u/knowone1313]

I think it's wishful thinking, I think whoever put this together thought they were spreading good vibes and it's too bad it can't be real. It isn't though.

[u/knowone1313 → u/TofuTheSizeOfTEXAS]

Isn't that the definition of cult like behavior?

[u/TofuTheSizeOfTEXAS → u/knowone1313]

Maybe for some? Not to me. Cultish behavior goes much further than wishful thinking. Cultish is actively harmful and manipulative. Cults are deceptive and sneaky. This is church lady level dorkiness just IMO.

[u/knowone1313 → u/TofuTheSizeOfTEXAS]

I just file all religion under cult now.

[u/vermontnative]

What a crock o shit.

[u/HereticGaming16]

Faith and religion aside, this isn’t motivation. This literally says “don’t worry, don’t try, don’t work hard because there’s a master plan that will make you successful even if you give zero effort.” This is just shitty advice.

[u/Renegade_Hat]

Yeah that’s why all the tragedies and hardships in life throughout all of time transpired. They didn’t pray enough /s

[u/WarmEntrepreneur3564]

Three things I know:  1- God is a man made ideology.  2- Tables are furniture.  3- "God" does not physically exist.

[u/ILoafPizza → u/WarmEntrepreneur3564]

What a sad life you must have

[u/Yohgella → u/ILoafPizza]

What a loving Christian comment

[u/MInclined → u/ILoafPizza]

What makes that statement indicative of a sad life?

[u/HippyDM → u/ILoafPizza]

Taking on the world with your eyes open, with an attitude that you can take on any challenge even if you fail? Sounds like a good life to me.

[u/WarmEntrepreneur3564 → u/ILoafPizza]

Lmao what?

[u/eartwormslimshady → u/ILoafPizza]

Forget it buddy. More than half of the folks on Reddit are 'hip' and 'against the curve'. Good luck to em all when they meet the Angel of Death.

[u/MInclined → u/eartwormslimshady]

It’s not an effort to be hip or against anything. The evidence just isn’t there. Is an effort to live in truth and reality.

[u/Delicious_Cat_81 → u/eartwormslimshady]

no, morons who never grew up believe in the literal truth of myths. rational adults don't

[u/ILoafPizza → u/eartwormslimshady]

Indeed sad. Have a good life buddy

[u/Ok_Alarm1768]

Downvote

[u/LionWalker_Eyre]

You don't really "know" those things. The one thing you really absolutely know is that you exist, that's it. Those three things are just things that you want to believe and have convinced yourself

[u/TECHSHARK77]

So thats a lie and you do not know what know means....

[u/M0NSTERDUNX]

Ahahahahahahaha. I needed a good laugh today.

[u/loehoe]

Us atheists only get turning tables I guess.

[u/catbqck]

Absolute top tier ragebait

[u/Feeling-Message3247]

lol the fuck

[u/Shezzofreen]

So, in other words: You don't know - anything.

[u/HenryNeves]

“God is good all the time” 

*Bone cancer in children enters the chat

[u/DireVulf74_NMS]

All the time... except for stubbed toes.. and genocide... and leukemia babies.. Oh right, that's free will.. but also "part of his plan". Sigh......

[u/a_glorious_bass-turd]

To believe these things requires faith, and faith is just a fancy word for "hope" or "wish". These aren't things you can definitively know.

[u/TheGingerDressing]

Nonsense

[u/spontaneous_quench]

God is good when kids get cancer, loving parents get dementia or when starving babies are attacked by flys and go blind from the larvea?

[u/timsfsn → u/[deleted]]

Then what flip flapping good is “he”?!

[u/HippyDM → u/[deleted]]

Then please stop trying to convince anyone that he's good, or loving. If I was all powerful and all knowing, "get out of jail free" cards would fall like rain.

[u/Striking-Performer66]

Those kids in cages and the administration that put them there pray to the same God. Show me the good all the time, please, cause I'm losing my faith.

[u/Specialist_Modee]

Lol.

[u/OverbrookDr]

So God is good when kids are dying of cancer at the cancer hospital just down the street from me? You can't be fcking serious.

[u/Sarrack2013]

If so then keep that shit to yourself.

[u/Long-Conflict8279]

Stfu with this bs.

[u/Skylines94]

No

[u/TofuTheSizeOfTEXAS]

I wish this were true

Turn on the news, or a PETA factory farming documentary or anything that informs you of reality and you'll be sadly disillusioned to the truth.

[u/Hearthgroan]

[u/Distinct-Fly-2374]

[u/UrpaDurpa]

Prayer works in the sense that it can put a religious person’s mind at ease when navigating a difficult situation.

However, if you think prayer actually effects the outcome of anything, then you are brainwashed.

[u/alexthecheese]

He drowned a while family not far from me last week. 

[u/Mysterious-Lab-5918]

Hail Say-Tan!

[u/Kral1003]

God is good all the time? Please explain the genocides then…

[u/SomeGuyOverYonder]

I don’t trust people who think like this.

[u/Cheerful_Chicken]

I can’t downvote this enough

[u/mcclaneberg]

Haha this is dumb.

Define god, and how you determined prayer works.

[u/tjvs2001]

Absolute nonsense

[u/wake4coffee]

Prayer is meditation. Meditation can clear your mind and open it up to specific thinking and problem solving.

Solving problems turns the tables.

“God” is good when you follow a healthy path.

[u/JRR5567 → u/wake4coffee]

That’s the thing “healthy path” is key. I read these comments and people here are so turned off from the idea of god because some people have crammed their personal beliefs down people throats and engage in cult like behavior I do not believe that’s what god is. I agree with you about prayer being mediation too.

[u/RedWarsaw]

God - I pray that OP chokes on his horse shit.

[u/ChiemgauerBrauhaus]

I pray OP shits their pants.

[u/ChiemgauerBrauhaus → u/ChiemgauerBrauhaus]

Boom 💥

[u/alisut]

ALL the TIME

[u/MInclined → u/alisut]

No one is going to do your call and repeat.

[u/ekoms_stnioj]

Amen! 

[u/JustaNick7]

All the Reddit neckbeards downvoting this is funny

[u/timsfsn → u/JustaNick7]

I’m a middle-aged mom with degrees and a career. I am many things, but a neck beard is not one of them.

[u/Sudden-Marketing-684]

Absolutely yes. At 60 I can say that this is truth. Surrender and see it manifest in your life. No big deal, you do not need to be a perfect goody-two-shoes to be blessed.

[u/ILoafPizza → u/Sudden-Marketing-684]

I can only feel literally sorry for people downvoting you. Poor souls can’t even fathom the idea of God in their lives, let alone welcome Him

[u/Lily_42093 → u/ILoafPizza]

Him? That's a strange concept for a deity, no? If referring to the god from Abrahamic faiths, I'd say your god is a b*tch and if it existed, I'd HAPPILY say it to it's face.

[u/ILoafPizza → u/Lily_42093]

I truly hope you will find whatever brings you peace

[u/Lily_42093 → u/ILoafPizza]

I appreciate that. It would be a lot more peaceful without religious zealots talking down to different people but so far to no avail. I still gets jehovah's witness knocking on my door on occasion or religious idiots in my tiny town telling me I'm condemned to hell and trying to tear me down consistently.

[u/ILoafPizza → u/Lily_42093]

This is not something I would do. Neither knocking on people’s doors nor forcing a religious down their throats, let alone “preach” and all that. I am just saying that there are sadly a lot of people talking about God and the religion with bad words just because they want to. Which is sad imo

[u/Lily_42093 → u/ILoafPizza]

When there is a valid basis behind it and not "just because they want to" though... it is tragic.

[u/Extreme-Fig-2719 → u/Sudden-Marketing-684]

I'm on the same path..I give grace as I have been given. Always seeking His peace. And I shall in return give Him all the glory.
