  2. Not necessarily,

    Some people do things just for the money...or for someone else, like becoming a doctor or lawyer to please your parents. Or being straight in front of everyone. Or hiding a lust for children. Or doing something just to spite someone you dislike.

    You can't take everyone and everything for face value always, if ever. -- You truly have to see and sense the depth of the collective picture or situation.

    We have historical records going back 5,000+ years of Gods.
    So where did they all end up ? In the dustbin of history as their followers got beaten.
    There are no Gods lurking in the clouds or elsewhere. Just man's craving for a superior fictional being to give themselves strength.
    Up until recently desperate people were making human sacrifices to please their Gods.
    Surely if there is an almighty God who cares then he would have stopped World War 1 and 2.
    But not a murmur from above.
    Obviously there are no Gods but there is good and evil. Those emotions are within us all.
    Discover and consider your own before analysing others.
