You can only find God through experience. Try to be a better you. If you are unfit, get in shape, if you don't have a good job, work hard for better employment, etc. Once you take care of yourself help others, without expecting anything in return. If you do this the universe will bend and twist existence in your favor. What was once seemingly impossible becomes possible and there will be too many coincidences for you to ignore. You will not know God if you don't try to be good and you must always listen to your conscience. God is not something that can be proven with the five senses. If you are looking for a sort of scientific evidence you won't find it. God is everything and looking for evidence is like the story of the blind men and the elephant - you won't find the truth that way.
Beautifully said (I am a believer, who recently saw the light about 4 years ago)
That everything outside of God - all you know about the material world is more of a fairy tale than God Himself. Democracy, equality, environmentalism, all "scientific" and "educational" institutions, all modern forms of art, all of psychology and modern philosophy, and even most institutional religions are all a massive façade. They are all a distraction from the truth of God. Everything that exists in the absense of God is the black pill.
Wasn't being ironic. Did it come off that way? I was being sincere.
It was largely the hypocricy I saw too that led me astray. I have been developing in my head better retorts for those atheists that avoid christianity due to christian hypothesy. It goes like this: If I point out a couple of poorly made video games and say "see videogames are all shite", you(speaking to the hypothetical atheist, not you personally) would just say "yeah, but games can be better". That is sort of like the atheist view of christians. And videogames could be replaced with many other things - movies, books, music. I think it may have been Peterson who had a better articulation for the commandment "don't use the lord's name in vain", that you shouldn't use Christianity as a tool of opression or merely for your own vanity or self pride. Many Christians especially if the more Evangelical sort don't seem to realize this.
I often waver in my faith. If I am being honest with myself I feel pretty much like you do, that it is one sided. Faith is all about believing when there is no logical or material evidence. If you align yourself with God and seriously pursue His will the universe will be twisted in your favor. After a while you stop believing it is merely coincidence. I know anecdotes don't sway people very much - but I went from having a massive depressive episode 3 years ago in which I - a full grown adult - moved back in with my mom and constantly struggled to just be, fantasizing of suicide often and one day almost carrying it out and adding everything up and coming to the conclusion I was hopeless would always be hopeless and there was no point, but I had an infinitesimally small ammount of hope. And with that and that alone I am here three years later, a home owner with a full time job doing what I wanted to do since I graduated college almost 15 years ago and other than my mortgage I am almost debt free. But even despite that I still have my doubts. I can't percieve God with any of my 5 senses and often I still feel lost. But like Peterson says, you have to look low for God. Like I want to get in shape - I am a total fatass. And I want to start doing pushups but I am weak and struggle even doing one proper pushup. So I allow myself to do many weak ass sissy push ups to work myself up to being able to do real pushups and then go from there. Once you reach an aim - like owning a house - there is always something more you can do. And I truly believe if you start out with enough humility you can do anything.
Try God. It's a white pill. I was agnostic until I heard it articulated by the likes of Jordan Peterson.
I will never seen a Guy Richie film again after that abomination that was King Arthur. I heard elsewhere that this film was bad too. Someone said it had no ending, but just abruptly ends.

Haha yeah I know OP was referencing it, but I wasn't sure how many would get the reference! Work more hours! Their morr recent PS5 e3 presentation was creepily perfect. Dude didn't utter a single um or anything the whole time.
based on actual Japanese history... So here is a giant enemy crab... Anybody else get the reference? (2006 E3 Sony conference disaster memes). God I am old.
I don't work in software but I work for a government department that has had major difficulty with our software lately - so I am on the recieving end of how incompetent they have become. Whenever there is a new update to the software we use everything is completely fucked for many days, sometimes weeks.
Pfft. Latest from the CDC even admits it; only 5% of reported covid deaths were from covid. So 2x is off by a power of 10, try 20x.
Wait a second, I didn't know Chavez canceled pipelines. I thought there were oil shortages and the economy tanked because it was too dependent on oil. But it was by design? WTF
I have checked to see if the "sky is falling". It's not. Once you know the truth - that this climate hysteria is a hoax - everything makes more sense. Believing in climate change hysteria is basically a religion - it is based on faith, not science.
False. Stop believing lies you hear on fox news or cnn. Most deaths listed as covid deaths were not covid deaths. Climate change will never be a significant issue.
It is negligible. Whether it's wet or dry or hot or cold all weather conditions are always blamed on climate change. The weather channel freaks out if there's a below average hurricane season (climate change reducing hurricanes), an average hurricane season (climate change causes hurricanes) or an above average hurricane season (climate change is causing more hurricanes), and this is the narrative all the time from all institutions. The reason this is pushed, is so the globo homo elites can cripple the people by depriving them of the only cheap reliable source of energy - fossil fuels (how many times have you heard of goals of reaching "carbon nuetral?". Carbon Dioxide is not harmful to the environment at all. It is like saying water is harmful for fish... Look up the Club of Rome. This all is a bogus hoax and has been for a long time.
The climate is a problem in the same way that this "pandemic" of a virus with a 99.99% survival rate is a problem. Climate exists, humans do contribute to some of the chemicals in the air, but climate change is about as lethal as the kung flu.
It's not real though. Eugenicists in the mid 20th century went straight into environmentalism. It's a big scam. It's flat earther level bullshit. I used to think that too, that "we better get this right just in case" and what I have found is there is no evidence at all that there is even the slightest concern. If you look at people studying science that make money from grants, you'll notice their research is only funded if they come to the "right" conclusions. If you say anything against the narrative - despite whatever evidence you may have - you will be shut down. Want to get paid? Fudge the results that climate alarmism is necessary. You atheists all don't seem to realize, if you don't believe in God you will be gullible enough to "believe in science", to "trust the experts". I care about the truth, and if so-called scientists are telling lies I call their bullshit out.
Midwits take things at face value. The wise see everything the way it actually is; in terms of narrative. The climate is always changing and human development has negligible effects. The narrative behind it is like all other narratives propogated by the Globo Homo elites, to grab more power.
Anthropogenic Climate Change, is in fact, an existential threat due to it's inevitable effect on human systems.
No, it's not. Never was. Complete lie, just like the plandemic.
To be fair, all of those countries are located near polar regions where sunlight is limited. Lack of sunlight is correlated with depression. Just sayin.
Thank God it had a happy ending. Clown world we live in.
