If good things happen to you it is because you are a good person.
If bad things happen to you it is because god has a plan and moves in mysterious ways.
All good, right?
Don't bother getting vaccines or wearing masks. God watches over every ultra-microscopic virus particle.
Don't bother wearing seatbelts or motorcycle helmets. God takes care of the phyzzics for you.
(A certain segment of the population wears them only because of laws.)
Don't bother going to libruhl universities. The local bible college will explain everything and you can always learn a trade at community college.
Don't bother with the niceties of elections. Vote for the guy the preacher says to, and if they don't win the count, then overwhelm the counters and tabulators and certifiers with force. Because god dwells in whichever politician the preacher says. The preacher has long two-way conversations with god and thus knows more than you.
