China is the USA of Asia.

Asians are pretty based ngl. I know plenty of muslims who are cool, but many tend not to be cool when/if they grow in number

They already take more years of your life away with school

The only English speaking country in the EU is Ireland

I definitely don’t agree with the sentiment and sinking of boats, but they basically are people coming from another first world country for economic reasons. The type of people willing to cheat the system and pay people smugglers tend to overlap closely with bad people. It’s not just simply coming from a place of “racism”. I’m more pissed though that people are putting their kids on these dangerous boats and killing them, or overexaggerating the legality and safety of said boats.

A safe and legal option into the UK is the best solution imo

I, personally am pretty inconsistent with how I do it, lol

This is why I was told to close my eyes, to do away with distractions. But my neurodivergent brain would just get distracted by unrelated thoughts, so staring at a stained glass window does nicely for me.

Apart from the Bible not saying much about the dead watching except from a vague

Hebrews 12:1 ESV

Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us

The idea of people looking down - while could be argued for in this verse - is moreso a human invention than scriptural in the case of Christianity. But the Roman Catholic Catechisms may have something to say about it

Jesus -who Christians believe to be God Himself- is described as looking up to Heaven to pray

John 17:1 ESV

When Jesus had spoken these words, he lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, “Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son that the Son may glorify you

He also fell on His face Matthew 26:39 ESV

And going a little farther he fell on his face and prayed, saying, “My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will.”

I don’t think this is biblical in origin
