Damnnn niggar

We were born to die...for everyday we wake we are faced with more than a hundred ways to die

Anybody who wakes up in the morning and pray for God's protection is a coward and a disgrace to the intelligent of humans


How could humans be so stupid to think that one imaginary being up there in the sky protect them

What about the people dying every day so God doesn't give a fuckkk about them
Before you quote me ensure you are a logical being and a human of common sense
If not don't quote me
What happens to mr A can happen to Mr B. You are not receiving any preferential treatment from one imaginary being
Get that into your head and stop being stupid

Not all of them. The USA Isn't as mighty as you think it is. Nor is israel.

Death comes for anyone.

(Machel's death may have had Arphateid South African interference, but that is rendered problematic by the fact that he was returning from a meeting over peace in angola. He had met with the then S A. foreign minister AND they had already signed a peace accord two years earlier).

Avoid helicopters, they fly lower than aeroplanes, have less margin for error and can't glide in case of malfunction

I just feel for the Iranian president. He didn't accept salvation before he was gone. A lesson for everyone yet to accept our Lord Jesus. It takes nothing to believe. There is one God and it's the Christian God, any other god is no god.
