    one time in middle school i prayed for an xbox and a couple weeks later a boy who had a crush on me (but i didnt know that at the time) gave me his old original xbox and fable: tlc as he upgraded to a newer xbox. so ya religion is pretty nifty 😎

          now that u mention it i can’t think of a single other prayer i ever made getting answered so you might be right

          maybe god is just sponsored by microsoft (this existence brought to you by: Xbox Game Pass)

      That isn’t how religion works though.

      You just got to steal the xbox, then pray for forgiveness.

          You could just convince the pope to call for a holy war, that way you don’t even have to ask for forgiveness when you take a nonbeliever’s steam desk.

        lol i honestly never thought about that

        we went to a really small school (when i was in middle school there were like 15 students in the middle school and high school grades all combined, by the time i was in 12th there were 4 high school students all in different grades) so if i had to guess and give him the benefit of the doubt i’d guess that because we lived in such a small community and probably had a lot of mutual friends and connections, he probably just knew enough about me to know that i was into video games and my family was too poor to buy consoles/computers so i was still playing on a PS1 that my older siblings got for Christmas once while everyone else my age were on or moving to PS4 and (i think) Xbox One
