Thank you for the welcome!
“Can’t please, everybody, so you ... got to please yourself.” - Ricky Nelson
It isn’t about trying to please everyone. In a way, it’s actually about trying to please yourself, to learn to be a kind of person that you might love, admire and trust.
It might have been a mistake for me to call it “faith in God,” because that’s actually distracting from what I’m trying to say. It’s actually about people trying to become better people, for the benefit of all people everywhere, because they want to; and how anyone who wants to might help that kind attitude and behavior grow and spread. If anyone wants to know what “God” means to me, I would rather start a new thread for that.
