[@aevinstax]

Yall have to stop attacking other peoples forms of spirituality you gotta realize there is never one right side. Everyone has a different soul path in this life and Jesus is not the only religion nor is it the end all be all. Yall gotta stop with the dogma. You have to be respectful of other peoples religions your fear is what makes you say that about other people and Jesus ain’t working if you’re scared of other peoples spiritual practices. Or else you wouldn’t be saying anything at all because you aren’t god to comment on anybody’s free will. It’s very disrespectful to judge so if someone in real life does it to you don’t be surprised that god showed you what you looked like when you were judging in the KZbin comments or in real life. You will always be experiencing forms or versions of yourself so you figure out what parts of yourself you don’t want to be reflected back to you.

[@connorlicairac6503]

Shut up, you are so annoying. Don't attack her for what her spirituality, just as no one attacks you for being a hardcore Christian. You should really think things out before leaving comments because you just sound dumb

I feel like that’s just her personality. As far as getting over it, people need to stop trying to make people get over something they aren’t ready to let go of. Meghan does have jealous tendencies but I don’t think it’s a big deal that’s just her. She didn’t lie though Natalie is getting older so she’s getting softer but for the longest Natalie was acting like a crazy narcissist. Who knows, maybe from this conversation she might let it go.

I’m an only child Capricorn, yes we strive for success and we prioritize our family and careers over anything. I personally take real friendships very seriously. I think by not having a close sibling I always wanted real friendships so I can understand where their coming from but I know that as a Capricorn, Natalie can be the type to throw anyone under the bus for her benefit to get to the top. I’m not like that but trust me ik how toxic caps can be 😭 I’m only like that if someone is malicious toward me first then IDC but nat strikes me as someone that would do that when the time is right to benefit her
