[00:00:00]But see, what if people can do those same things that you're saying and have done them and have other moral codes and laws and other cultures either without God, there still can be laws and morals, so you can still have those same practices or even with God, we've seen bad things happen and immorality and even in its name justified. And on the PowerPoint, you don't see that throughout history a lot of people benefited from it like, oh, this king was a There was some term for it like absolute this king or something where they're appointed divinely chosen by God or different members of the church and bishops and so forth that they benefited and so there's no incentive there to exploit it for your own benefit even if it is true or people didn't benefit throughout history.

[00:00:43]>> Oh, I see what you're saying. Well, I think God does give me blessings because I'm his child, right? And when I ask for Okay, this is actually funny. I was singing this song and it literally was like, okay, well, first of all, I said, okay, God, I don't deserve any blessings that you give me. I know I don't. But it says in the Bible that you will bless those who ask for blessings. So, I'm going to ask you for blessings. This was one morning.

[00:01:32]Somebody gave us free muffin. It was like, there were so many free things. I got free stickers. It was just like It was silly, but I was like, okay, that's God.

[00:01:41]>> [laughter] >> You know, I don't get four free things from different places every day. So.

[00:01:45]>> But if you could put that to the test, then why don't you do that every day and the same things would happen then?

[00:01:51]>> Uh because I think that's not how faith works. Like, I believe God will give me blessings, but it's like if I'm testing him, it's like I'm not relying on my faith, I guess.
