Quote: for example, why is it that some christians people end up with great careers and seem to have a really nice life, and others struggle and struggle and just cant seem to get anywhere.
Well, religion can be a PART of that, like if a city is a known religious capital that had a grand economical influx for what it is worth. And the people there just tend to have good schools and reliable employment opportunities after graduation.
But then again, maybe they are just ambitious enough to get that success.
