I'm feeling pretty... Blackpilled, at the moment. Maybe even worse than that. Things are bad. Things keep getting worse. Not just politically, but... As a human being. All the failed relationships, all the lost friendships, all the... Shit, that has happened in my life, is sort of getting to me pretty bad.
But more than that, it feels like we're losing. Like things... Are spiralling out of control (in Aus, but also outside it). I literally can't look at ANY popular media, or any sort of news, without being utterly bombarded by it.
So... If you've got a good "whitepill", or just... Something that counteracts all this... Existential angst, and feelings of sheer... Doom, I would appreciate hearing it, I guess. Thanks. While it lasts, and while I last.
The Creator of the universe loves you and misses you.
If you had a good relationship with your earthly father, you'd understand why your Heavenly one doesn't come running every time you scrape your knee.
Wow, I didn't know fedora-tier atheists still existed. Maybe if you weren't such an insufferable asshole, people wouldn't condescend to you
Mankind has been given total freedom on earth, to do good or evil. We have been given a moral compass to instinctively know when we do so. We do not have an intervening God, on the whole. On top of that, there is a 2000 year old book to remind us. This life is our test, our final exam. You get one pass. On the whole, mankind is failing, sadly. Doesn't mean that our Creator wants us to fail, he wants us to be with him.
He wants to separate the worthy from the unworthy. The unbelievers, the proud, from the believers, the humble.
Anyone can do it. If you let that pride go, all that man-made false knowledge, and science falsely so-called, and see the truth of this world. This is the hard part. The ego of men is a big blockade. The road is small, and intentionally so. But we have total freedom to choose to walk the path.
I'm not sure what exact flavor of atheism or agnosticism you're expounding here, but as a fellow nerd boomer I must say that you've chosen an ironic username to do so under.
It's prolly a tie between Weyoun and Garak for my fav DS9 character.
