Thank your parents for all this....and thank yourself for your achievements and strength in life.

There are starving children in the world not because of people who don't believe...but because of people who lack MORALITY...and they exist among believers and non-believers. I know many believers who are good because it's what God says...they me "if you don't believe in God, why don't you go around killing people?" Why? Because I'm a good person. If God were proven to not exist, would you still be a good soul? I know I already am and nothing can break my faith in MORALITY...whether it's God's existence or lack of it. Can you say the same for yourself? I know many non-believers who contribute greatly to humanity's well-being...as well as many racist, misogynistic people who believe in God. There are good and bad people no matter where you look. True goodness is not always correlated to your religious beliefs- it should be a part of you and not be directed by God. Please don't hate on these kinds of comments...I'm just trying to offer insight and take away direct blame people keep putting on one another...

Why do we have to be good because God says so? What are we, 5 year olds behaving because we're afraid of being punished? If, hypothetically speaking, God was proven to not exist, would you still be a good person? Or would this demotivate you? AKA: YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE RELIGIOUS TO BE A GOOD PERSON. There are saints and demons on both sides of the spectrum.

Richness is made, poverty is made for us all to learn and realize the PURPOSE of God WHY both are made... God works in mysterious ways! There is no one to be praise but the Higher Power! We are all made with love... Let us be thankful that we have feeling about both, and merciful love we can offer to those BOTH... because both rich people and hungry with material things to exist on Earth needs love and prayers from us all who understand and believe that there is God! Why are there so many starving people in our world?”

“Why would a loving God be worried about someone getting a raise; while at the same time, ignoring the prayers of the ‘desperate’ and the ‘innocent’ children?”
