I feel shocked when standing in the middle of the church

I could feel the power of the god.

The christians pray every week and I have been prayed with them once a time.
It is a house place. they rent apartment for a small group of christians like 10 people and they were very welcoming.

They wanted me to experience the whole process so we prayed and sing the songs and share view with each other.
Very interesting I am also interesting in researching religion.

I am thinking about the role of religions in the history of humans.
I think they will stay in the future for a long time.
they play an important role in shaping people’s mind

Considering more and more people are studying science so they are smarter than before and know that the god may not really exist but on the other hand people still feel weakness in their heart and they need help.
The inner feelings don’t change that is where the religion can affect.
Maybe people will put it in another place in the heart

They established an investing company. They are rich because of oil so they want to allocate their money
They are very interested in the Chinese market.
I feel like they also love money. They try to use different tools to invest. Including borrowing or lending money.
I think that may be because my clients are more open but for the whole situation some islam countries are extremely restricted to the religion or the islam bible.
Some are very traditional.
