And even Jesus's people, the disciples that he handpicked, they didn't believe. Mainly. One of them named Thomas, what they called Doubting Thomas, he had to fill Jesus hands to make sure that he was real. And interesting, while Jesus was in the tomb, they were all afraid, and you had the women that were standing up for him to let him know that he was back. And that would be Mary Magdalene

And that's because I believe that believing in God, as far as the Christian God, is a great foundation to spiritual belief. It's the root for most American spiritual belief systems. So by me coming from that background of going to a Baptist church myself, taking myself to Baptist church, by me coming from that background, it, in a way, allowed me to empathize and to see from the other side why people believe what they believe

As long as they know what the true meaning of the holiday is, then, hey, let them have their fun. So I was trying to look at it from that standpoint again without attacking anybody or taking anybody's happiness away. But anyhow, as always saying, I really enjoy and appreciate your replies, and again, stay blessed and keep inspiring

But like I said, I've come across a lot of philosophy and different religions and mingled amongst people from other countries and nationalities. And after a while I came up with the concept. I was thinking and I'm like, how can I explain this or explain my understanding of this to a kid? And when I thought about it, I said people look at religion as of a battle between religions. And I think that bothers me the most

And because everybody believes that their truth is their truth and everybody's not on the same page with each other, that's why religion is something that's not always discussed, as well as politics is not always discussed because everybody is just not on the same page with it. And again, it is what it is. All we have to do is just be respectful and be mindful of each other's standpoint or belief in regards to where we sit at with it

But I don't think that we're supposed to be on the same page. And again, it could just be the way I have had to come to terms with people not being on the same page. Because honestly, when I tell you that, it annoys me the most. And there are many times that I have questioned my faith, I have questioned it all. And I had to come to some type of resolution within myself because it just became too much

We all have our own lookout, our own outlook on life, that is my apologies. But also I try to look at it from a spiritual standpoint and for the ones who believe in God, I mean, we definitely know that God is a spirit. So as long as his spirit is working in you, then that's what should matter the most. The focus does not have to be on religion itself and because the focus tends to be more so on religion

I think I kind of come from this standpoint. Like I said, I grew up Baptist, but my dad was actually Muslim, so I didn't want to lose touch with him. And I actually started to read and learn about the Muslim religion so that I could have a better understanding and we can have conversations and I didn't feel like we were talking from two different worlds. And it works for me, it works for us. I have great respect for that religion in itself

Hey, Al Qaeda, how you doing, man? You got King Pop of LA, man. I don't know what happened to my swell, man. Chey made me start over and some other stuff, but, you know, man, that was hard work from the beginning. Like from when we first met, man, that shit all gone. Excuse my language, man, but, yeah, man, it's like I gotta start all over and shit

You keep on popping that hot stuff like you always do. Again, just thanks for reaching out to me. Now I have to sort of get back in the swing of things with this myself again. I knew I hadn't heard from you in quite some time, and anybody else that follows me haven't heard me swell in quite some time. But again, I appreciate you not only reaching out to me, but also following me again
