On a TV series,, fans are beating up on an alien who essentially took up his late father's vow of peace, and other fans cannot understand why they are coming down on him so hard.

I wrote:

J'onn did what most do, make a permanent leap of faith into something that has temporarily moved them strongly. The passing of his father... who was (as far as he knows) the only other surviving green Martian. The second thing most do is to beat up on themselves too hard when they fail to live up to that leap of faith. My guess is folks are helping this fictional character beat up on himself because they have similar issues.

Even Jesus said "First count the cost" of being his disciple.

Many do not understand that and they accept any charity that comes their way...

Like that they under the spell of superstition....

Like in this example; a pastor could not understand why a woman approch him and gave him an envelop with some money, and asking to pray that the Lord bless her offering as he said in his message. 

The pastor was glad and he show it as a gift from the Lord. 

Jesus finally asked him;

Do you know why I sent this woman to you,....

He said ; to bless me....

Jesus said you did not pray to me about the reason why she came to you...

She was praying to me about her rent money, and I put in her heart to give you what money she had and asked you to pray....

I asked you to make up the money for her rent, and you did not wanted to hear, believing that the devil wanted to still your blessing...

You rebuke me and not the devil...

Jesus said go and give her enouph money for her rent, and promise her to give her half the rent for the next two months...and if that's not enouph to tell you...

And tell het after two months her situation will improve... She will have a job...God bless
