Like this from him, So is your minister. Religion is meant to keep people contented and poor or suffering, don’t complain if you are hungry, it’s gods will. He must be a very cruel god to allow millions of people suffer or he is non existent. As for unreasonable expenses I don’t have too many things pressing, a good thing because I don’t have the money above a certain amount I can use.
I don’t eat avocado toast, I do drink a large latte in the morning, but I make my own. My big expenditures are usually a bottle of nail polish and my weakness for yarn and Irish whistles. I don’t have a second home.
