I helped out a random stranger the other day. Not gonna tell the long story but He kept saying God must have guided me and God must be looking out for me too.
I didn't want to get into with him but No bro. I helped you because I saw you needed help. And figured I was in a position to do so. I had some extra time that day and just happened to be where you were.
Wasn't God.
I help people when I can because why not ? The relief on someone's face is enough payment. Plus I feel guilty when I don't help when I can. Not from fear of damnation but my empathy requires I do something.
Strangers have helped me in the past. I know how much of a difference that can make.
It's just frustrating to have your own "good" behaviors constantly assumed to be caused by God.
No. I chose to help. Me. No one else was involved. Isn't that a better lesson anyway? That there are people who help from a place of support rather than fear of judgement. ? Or some divine force ?
Next time you can say "God got you in trouble"
all hail daannii, god of helping strangers
Sounds good to me! All bow down to daanii or be purged! PURGE THE HERETICS!
Praise Daanii!
Daannii, Patron Saint of Stranger Helping
Unlike Detective J.J. Bittenbinder, the Demonic Herald of Stranger Danger.
Amen!
Great news! You're all welcome to the new Church of Daannii I've started. We live purely for the glory of Daannii's sacrifice to strangers.
(Also, please remember to bring your 10% tithe each week.)
Praise Daannii!
Holy shit this has to be how Christianity happened
Sounds like something a Heretic would say…..
Same here. Help when you can.
