Mr. Andersson (OP) User ID: 22629925 Sweden 11/12/2012 12:14 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Cheer mate! I AM christan, I just don't practice it a lot. You think that would help? :) It's been helping me. When my thoughts get too chaotic, the prayer helps get my head straight. Yes, I know what you mean. I still talk to God, but he doesn't seem to answer me anymore. I dont blame him. We are all evil |
Mr. Andersson (OP) User ID: 22629925 Sweden 11/12/2012 12:21 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I wonder if God have given up on us? According to me that's alright. If I send my only son to talk sense into someone and that someone killed him and abused him as well, I would sure punish them. I´m so sad. We are still ignoring our Father and probably will always do. |

Quoting: Mr. Andersson It seems like there are more evil in the world than good. I don't have a religion, but I try to be a good man. This led to that i´m lonely, have no money, no car, no girl, no nothing. a couple of years ago I did the opposite and than I had everything? What is the point in trying to be be a good man, when the others take it all if you try? This world do not want real truth and real love It want dimmed bendable versions that can be used to control Yet, it will tip, the world will tip, and a new era will dawn of true love and purpose Will dawn through the truth deep in our hearts and our loving relations Hang on, have hope, my friend You do great Love just be love in truth... |

Last week I was starting to feel close to some kind of beautiful bright new beginning, but today...the weather, the middle east, lady gaga, Fema camps, evil, corruption, dishonesty, the rich getting richer while the poor people starve, and temptation everywhere, all I can see today is a horrible broken world. Maybe it's the dark before the dawn. |

What is the point in trying to be be a good man, when the others take it all if you try? What is good without a belief system as a guide. Are you good according to gengis kahn? Are you good according to international communism? Are you good according to nihilism? Are you good according to recreational cannibalism? Are you good according to national socialism? Atheist only have themselves and their desires as a guideline, so it tends to be pretty flexible. The only philosophy with christian principles is christianity. Your problem is wanting to be 'a good man' without any definable external standards meaning you have only what you need from moment to moment as your standards. |

If you come to hate or revile them, then their work has been completed according to their intent. If you fear their realms, their thoughts, their works, or any aspect of same, you have empowered them. |

Also, it doesn't matter if you're good or evil. Just try to enjoy your life while you're at it, allright? Forcefully trying to do good is not the right way to live. It has to come from your heart. |

Essentially all other religions are about establishing worldly entitlement and exclusivity of some sort and entitlement to prey upon all others. One is counterintuitive to human nature, and the rest are magnification of human nature. Which one is likely to change the world? |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 20193680 United States 11/12/2012 12:48 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | OP Being "good" does not mean being soft or passive or simple minded. It is a lot more challenging to be moral/have character than most are taught. The world is a very complex and confusing place but if you believe that amidst all the chaos there is a deeper reality the point becomes clearer with each new day. Breathing and walking are powerful metaphors for how to engage the daily journey as it tends to get overwhelming. There is Truth, no matter how irrelevant it seems at times. You should try to find like minded people for mutual support. One of the things that keeps me going is that people, knowing what their fate was during the Holocaust still kept on celebrating life and cherishing moments and loving. I don't think things are that bad so we have a LOT more to be positive about. The work is to focus on the positive while be conscious of the negative. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 24066385 United States 11/12/2012 12:49 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I know how you feel. Most of my life, I've felt very lost. I was always more concerned with 'fitting in' than being true to myself. Over the past couple of years, I've realized that I don't want to fit in with ANY part of our current society. The way the world is at present is very depressing. For a while, I entertained an atheistic mindset and found that to be even more depressing. Lately, I've turned inward. I've separated myself from all the people I always wished I could be like, and have realized that I will never (could never) be as selfish and careless and cruel as they are. Of course, this also means that I'll never be "cool" or "popular" - I've learned to say good riddance to that. I was raised Catholic and scorned it all my life. I've recently started reading the Bible again, a little at a time. There's a lot of good to be learned. I finally feel like I have a purpose again. Life makes sense, more now than it has for a while. It feels good. Peace to you, my friend. I hope you find the goodness that exists in this world. It's hard to find, but it's there. |
