Religion Questions? in Help Me Please

The first question I have is what is the point of praying when whatever you want you have to do yourself? Or someone helps you get what you want? Isn’t hard work and money the only way you get what you want? I don’t know anyone who has ever had what they wanted drop from the sky and I have never heard any religious figure who has died or I can see answer any of my wants and needs. I have always had to get this myself.
When I was a child and I was following “the day of atoment” I couldn’t understand that I was that horrible as a child and did things really wrong that I had to ask for forgiveness. But when I did I never did get an answer so I don’t even know if I was heard. Then after some years I just stoped asking for forgiveness and for the things I wanted. But the starnge thing is I always got what I needed so that makes no sense to me.
And do you really know all the why of what you do ? Like why do you have to do 40 days of lent? Why not just one day?
And did you know that some of these Christian holidays are derived from the Pagens? So why celebrate them?
This is what I found....

And this is the whys of the Jewish holidays....

I think there is more understanding of the why of the Jewish holidays then there is of the Christan holidays and you can actually understand why each holiday is celebrated because there is the story of each one.
I think no matter what your religion is there is always a lot to learn and sometimes when you want ansers to your questions not many people really know the true answer all they know is what they have been told.
The other thing I have noticed over the years is that all the pictures of jesus being hanged on the cross there are no nails in his wrists or his ankles. Why do people think he was nailed to the cross when he wasn’t?

Do you see nails here?

And this is what he did to get hanged…

I am so glad that when we do someting illeagal or wrong we at least get to try to defend ourselves and tell our side of what happeend before judgment is passed.

Oh and I have another question? If jesus was Jewish then where did Christianity come from? I still can’t understand that.

Okay onto something else....

Today hubby and I are staying in and just chilling and not doing much. And I am noit sure what to have for dinner but whatever it is I know it will be good.

Well it looks like it will be a nice day, but we seem to have a lot of smoke in the air from the fires that are near the mountin. But still it will be a good day.

I need to stop here…
Do have a great day…
Be Kind, Be Calm, Be Safe and Behave.
