Admittedly, it's a bit funny that the pedovores use peoples greed to get them to do ridiculous shit like wear a puffy comforter as a coat.
>The Bible says
You ever find it a bit odd that those with more resources than us, those who have access to more information than we do never abide by the doctrines that the peasants adhere to? In fact, isn't it odd that the more information a person is privvy to, the less they tend to follow the teachings of the many messiahs that have been written about and never actually seen?
Because my rational mind wrestles with this conundrum (that's a hard word to spell) often.
I'm not going to pretend I know the answers to lifes mysteries, but I also don't want to be the sucker who follows the "rules" while those that don't enjoy their time here due in part to not following the rules. Maybe we need to revisit this whole rule thing? I mean, shit. 2/3rds of the US puts their faith in a messiah that only 1 historian wrote about, then went on to be drafted into the Kings family as a royal member.
I feel like we've all been living with an abusive girlfriend who constantly cheats on us, lies and manipulates us, then we continuously cuck out when she starts doing the water works.
Are we even sure he wants to work? He lives down in San Clamente from what i've gathered and given that fact with the fact he's an avid surfer of retirement age, maybe the guy just wants to take it easy a bit?

Sometimes it just feels as if I'm the only human living with guilt. Granted I've done some really shitty things, like telling a girl "I'm already regretting this so could you not be here when I wake up?" and many equally terrible things. I called a kid a nigger once. That's a huge regret and I'd love the chance to apologize to him. He didn't deserve that, if he had I wouldn't regret it.
Just shit like that. Then I see people who have access to all the worlds information seeminly living with no regrets and doing absolutely horrific shit like raping children.
This world doesn't make any damned sense.
>The hardest person to forgive is myself
yeah isn't that the truth. I'm just not sure it has to be that way.
>I just work towards a better person.
I try and do the same but a 25yr drug addiction really left my brain scrambled. I've been routinely doing brain-exercises to try and get my cognitive function back on par. I konw it's said the brain is the one organ that doesn't heal but I've seen marked improvement in my ability to hold focus since I started working on it and treating it as I would time in the gym.
>Jesus came to save sinners
I really like the idea, I just wish the historical data matched the writings.
>take it to God in prayer
I like aspects of God, but if "He" is ALL, then "He" must also be anger, rage, harm, greed, guilt, shame, etc…
This point is never addressed.
>God is Love.
Among many (ALL) other things.
The ancients had many gods. Maybe they knew something that we've forgotten?
>Acts 16:31 Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved.
And why should I trust this? Because it was written a long time ago and provides an allure of mystery? Why not put faith in what I can see and witness over what is written by some human with a dowry bestowed upon him for doing so? You know how long it takes to write a book? You know the resources that went into having this book hand written over and over in a time when there were no priting presses? You know the families that ruled back then are of the same line as the ones that rule us today? They aren't really good people and yet, their ancestors felt it wise to bestow upon us peasants the truth of everything all in one book, all out of the kindness of their heart?
Do you see how a rational mind might find fault in this logic?
>Did he act like one?
No, he was a good kid. I was the nigger. My mother had OD'd the night before and he just happened to be the target of my rage.
>lowercase g for a reason
Correct. I have a lot of respect for the Creator and ultimately want to do right by All. I just have a lot of questions that can't be answered with available resources and, it seems, notice that those that have access to resources choose to do shitty things. This is the conundrum.
Here's our prize!
I mean, I'm good with it if you guys are. Doesn't really matter what a person looks like. I've seen better days myself.
>It's not like these controlling families promote its values in their media
Yeah isn't that the truth? They sure don't like it when we get all religousy on them!
>Egg Yolks.
How weird is that!?
I've been CRAVING eggs ever since quitting. Sometimes I eat up to 2 dozen a day.
I just have to listen to myself, I guess. Thanks for the info!
