I can relate like thru the a Bible. The famous story of Job.
He had a great family wealth and all was well. The story goes that God let the devil experiment on Job
Made him very sick to see what happened. Then even sicker. Gave him huge boils all over his skin.
Put him thru the grief and loss to see how he'd react.
Somehow took away all of his friends.
Killed his animals and crops.
So the story goes that Job did not lose his faith in God.
God then rewarded him by increasing his wealth more than before.
Gave him the cures for his health. Re established his status to society.
You could draw a parallel between invisible beings I believe in and Aliens of whom you believe in.
Yes. For my part I think God tests me. That was one reason I decided to get married.
Funny how it turned out.
