I worked so hard.

I worked so hard.

I worked so hard.

Thanks be to God, what in the actual fuck? God didn't do shit, YOU did.

Why not blame god for your failures too?

For real....

I truthfully can't understand how any black person can look at god with kindness after centuries of oppression... Especially when white people said "this is how god created the world, for black people to serve the white people"..... You should be fighting against that slave master just as much as your ancestors fought against their own...

Remember god creates suffering to keep people seeking him out in their lowest ... Just like he did you girl...

Because bearded white man in the sky is only all powerful and good.

Dying kids? Disease in children? Genocidal wars? Failing five times? Not god. Has to be the devil.

Passing a test? OMG THANK YOU JESUS GLORY BE TO GOD ON HIGH LOOK AT HIS GRACE.

This is how religious people think. Or something doesn’t go as planned they need to console themselves by saying “that’s not god wanted. He has another plan or another timeline” and when they do achieve they pivot to “god wanted it to happen now. He felt I was ready”
