How can you genuinely be religious and ugly

[depression]

Do you thank God for your subhuman face? How does it work?

From what I know, a Christian should actually thank God for that but it seems quite hard. You know, 'And if thy right hand offend thee, cut if off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.' Basically, we were saved from ever being sluts or narcissists.

As for the question in the title, I'm currently conducting a research on sociology of death, and, lo and behold, those less fortunate see death as salvation from this life, and thus they would, probably, be even more likely to believe in God, who promises them true happiness after death.

This reminds me of Schopenhauer. He agrees with your second paragraph but considers that a good thing.

"Unjust or wicked actions are, in regard to him who performs them, signs of the strength of his affirmation of the will to live, and thus of how far he still is from true salvation, which is denial of this will, and from redemption from the world; they are also signs of how long a schooling in knowledge and suffering he still has to undergo before he can attain it. In regard to him who has to suffer these actions, however, although physically they are an evil, metaphysically they are a good and fundamentally beneficial, since they assist him along the road to his true salvation."

Huh, I should actually read Schopenhauer. It's funny when you remember that it was him who made a random neighbor disabled or something

Yeah he pushed a foid who was being loud off the stairs.

He was forced to pay an annual pension afterwards for her injuries and chronic pain and he bitterly gloated when she died.

If you study enough theology then its likely that you'll naturally become pretty religious just based on how much knowledge you have on the topic. I guess some people were also born into certain faiths but that's pretty fickle nowadays especially with Christian families, since most people in the west don't even read and practically just worship TV tropes and Roman paintings.

I also like what this guy said

Do you thank God for your subhuman face? How does it work?

Its best to thank God for everyone and know that in the next life it will be better

 

[LIGHT.YAGAMI]

i mean logically you'd thank God for everything else and see your looks as more of a test, the goal is to be celibate until marriage anyway, even though none of us are getting married
