    That's because if anyone cared to actually investigate the matter, they would find that the world of the atheist and the world of the religious person operate in exactly the same way.

    Guess what?! My life is going very well and I am religious! Imagine that:D

    But you know, God promises that those who are righteous and obedient will experience the real life- 1 Timothy 6:19-get a firm hold on the real life

    There are more factors in life than religion or God's will, obviously. Being religious is no guarantee of a good life and being non-religious is not necessarily a ticket to despair.

    Psalms 37: 7 Keep silent before Jehovah

    And wait expectantly for him.

    Do not be upset by the man

    Who succeeds in carrying out his schemes.

    ה [He]

     8 Let go of anger and abandon rage;

    Do not become upset and turn to doing evil.

     9 For evil men will be done away with,

    But those hoping in Jehovah will possess the earth.

    ו [Waw]

    10 Just a little while longer, and the wicked will be no more;

    You will look at where they were,

    And they will not be there.

    11 But the meek will possess the earth,

    And they will find exquisite delight in the abundance of peace.

    People get good lives a good deal of the time. It's one of the little secrets of our time. Most of us actually are doing very well. Few are not. Even those who say, "I hate my life," are doing okay compared to the usual level of existence a few centuries ago.

    Bible says that entire world lies in wickedness.

    So put it this way. Satan rules this world, and everyone who belongs to him are living good rich and quiet life.

    But the end is not gonna be so great.

    Religion is not about God--it is about doctrines of men.

    A man of faith makes a difference.

    God is not evil. He will not put turmoil in your life if you choose not to serve him, nor will your life be perfect if you do serve him. The Bible actually says the rain and sun both come to both the wicked and the righteous. God wants you to serve him by choice.

    The physical laws are set. But so are the spiritual ones.
