What does your religion do for you?

1 Answer

Answer :

Fact from fiction, truth from diction. What you call religion I call my relationship, what id does for me is keep me grounded so you and everyone else will not get played or worse. If I thought it was just me and so long as no one discovers how I f***** you over, you would be at every opportunity. My true man nature would be full front and center. I would no more care about you only in the sense you can help me get to where I wanted even if you were duped into it. I would be out for me and the few I cared for, the rest of you would be in the way and needing to be squashed out of the way or broomed aside if you were not a plus to my agenda. My relationship teaches me that I cannot live my life like that because the byproduct or cause and effect of doing so will be quite costly.
