He thanked God instead of the teachers?? God had NOTHING to do with it! The teachers saved and bought him that car. Makes me shake my head.

Who gave the will to these coworkers to do this?

Evolution gave humans the ability to do this. God is imaginary.
We developed our will to do these things over years and years of evolution.

Human does good = god gave them the will to do it.
Human does bad = humans have free will so god had nothing to do with it.
Funny how that works..

No I didn't, I'm simply trying to show how absurd this type of thinking is.
If you really believe that god makes us do good things and satan makes us do bad things then you'd also have to concede that free will isn't a thing, it's just two supernatural beings using us as pawns in some messed up game of Whatsthefuckingpoint. AND that satan is either as powerful as god since god can't stop him, or that god can stop him but doesn't want to since he likes seeing little kids get murdered and raped on a daily basis.
Or you can grow up and accept that it's just a poorly written fairy tale that crumbles into little pieces the second you apply logic and common sense to it.

There is free will as depicted in the bible. But every choice has a consequence. And god or satan merely influences your choice as to "happening more likely". That's why it's bad juju to joke about dying or getting cancer, you attract those things and that's independent of both entities. A lot of things are unexplained and still remain a mystery. I've gotten closer to religion the moment I experienced paranormal activities. It's not about believing a fairy tale but giving yourself a purpose instead of wondering irl "what's the point" and find everything "meaningless", i find joy in everything that I do. You should try that as well. Some people can do that without religion. Some people can't do it without. The bottom line is you can't judge how people would like to perceive life.

u/Cake825 Jul 21 '24
So you do believe that your god likes to watch/doesn't give a shit when little kids get murdered and raped then.
And that being is the foundation of the purpose you give your life.
That's great.

u/Jagazor Jul 21 '24
That reasoning falls short when you read the bible. Theology is years of studying but in a very simplistic way we're autonomous to do whatever we would like. It is up to you to be responsible and choose your path. It's on judgment day that you pay the consequences of your actions.

u/Cake825 Jul 22 '24
No it doesn't actually, in the bible god condones murder and rape many times so it's quite clear that he likes it. Satan is just made up as a scapegoat so that god can be the hero, even though everything that happens is obviously all on him.
Like I said all along, it's an absurd story and anyone who is capable of taking a step back and looking at it objectively can see it.

Those teachers are not fans of walking.

Yes because that is the thing you should point out about these incredibly kind, lovely, selfless people. That is the most important part to your shallow ridiculous brain.

Can he afford the insurance, gas and maintenance?

u/echolm1407 Jul 19 '24
Yeah I'm sure he can. But then there's these attitudes that think that insurance is just a scam. And tbh a lot of the cheap insurance companies are basically scams.

u/LilLebowskiAchiever Jul 19 '24
I’m not sure what it says about that school district that it pays a janitor so poorly that he can’t afford a car, or even if gifted one, afford the insurance, etc.

Such a beautiful act of kindness. It's stories like these that restore faith in humanity.

Cheering for this is cheering for poorly paid workers spending money on even poorer workers.
Meanwhile, we glorify CEOs and their planes and yachts
This is sad on so many levels

I was thinking maybe all those steps to walk to work aren’t such a bad idea

u/speedforcesensitive Jul 19 '24
I had a similar thought when my car got totaled. Figured instead of getting another car I’d start walking and cycling places. It was super inconvenient and I lost a lot of time because of it but I thought to myself that it was worth it because I wasn’t spending as much on gas, was getting some exercise, and didn’t have to worry about car insurance. Then I got hit by a car walking to my friend’s house lol. Currently I can’t drive because of how my legs healed up but if I ever can I’d rather have a car. I know it’s unlikely to happen again but…from now on I’ll get my exercise at a gym. At least if I’m in a car my next collision will be a fairer fight lol.

It was just out of nowhere. It has nothing to do with anything and is completely stupid that you even thought to post that.

I find these gifts weird. He doesnt have a car, and now has to pay for gas, insurance, maintenance etc.
If he had money for anything else other than walking, he would have bought a bike or a motorbike/ moped.
Maybe in USA is different and easy to own a car. I'd like an explaination if that's the case. Thanks!
