The year 9/11 happened, And they said, "thank god you survived"

I flipped. It's not god Humans are doing horrible things to other humans, because shitty humans exist. The only thing that protects us is ourselves and other humans that are not shitty.

These girls were saved because they had the courage to run. If they used a god belief to find the courage so be it, but they did all the work themselves

fellow free thinker, always a pleasure.
