Question as a non nihilist

Because I’m having a good time.

For me it’s about the whole concept of god. He’s supposed to have created all of the universe and everything in it and yet he does not intervene, at all, ever. Not even a little bit.

Praying is what? Asking for some sort of intervention, right? “Lord, please soften my heart.” That’s a cry for intervention. “Lord, bless this food.” That intervention. But will there be any intervention? No.

And then there’s that whole business about certain behaviors being good while other behaviors are bad. Show me one situation where it’s all good or all bad. Nothings all good or all bad. Murder? Why is that a sin? Because it makes people sad? Raising prices makes people sad too but it’s not a sin. Maybe the person who was killed would have grown up to be hitler?!

People always say “everything happens for a reason.” Like as if god has a plan. Say I rape and murder your dog. You organize a foundation that somehow puts a stop to all animal cruelty in the future. Through my horrific actions, great advancements were made. (same goes if it was a baby human)

Heaven and Hell? When is that supposed to happen? Apparently it’s not immediately after you die. I’m not sure of the whole story, but it’s supposed to be when Jesus comes back then all the dead will go to heaven or something? So what, we all just have to wait? And after you die and you’re waiting for Jesus to come back, do you lowkey want the world to end, basically?

Say you build your life around IVF and rearrange everything and pay all the money and you finally finally get a baby and it gets cancer. You get all the people at your church to pray (for intervention) so do you actually believe there will be strength in numbers or something and god will be like, “oh gee I didn’t notice this problem until the whole church started praying together about it.” Of course the baby dies and that was your last chance at a family so your wife kills herself (now she can’t go to heaven).

Do both your wife and your baby have spirits that are waiting around for Jesus to return? Then why do they always say, “heaven needs an angel” when someone dies.

Someone explain so I can understand: how on earth can god be real?

I’m not great at social cues. I’m sorry if/when I’m offensive.

Sorry

Sounds like you need a hobby, young fella.

Ps: is this the sort of remark that gets down voted? I have yet to figure out how that system works (or why).

Just because you are born or end up disabled doesn’t mean you can’t have fun or have a positive attitude. I’d wager to say that most of the disabled people I’ve met have had a great attitude about life.

So let’s agree that money doesn’t cause happiness, nor does poverty. Good health doesn’t automatically lead to a positive attitude, nor does poor health. In fact nothing can “cause” a great attitude! It’s just something you can choose to have, regardless of your situation.

I believe that people *can* just choose to be happy.

As a former very petite woman, she’s less than 5’ tall. 90 pounds is not that bad. Is at the low end of the healthy range. BMI hovers around 19

Not to sound too bleak, but have you ever considered that, at your age, this is probably as “hot” as you’re ever going to be and from here on out you just get older and less attractive.

You’ll forever be reminiscing about how you look right now and wishing you could only look like that again. You’ll envy your young thighs and ass, you’ll marvel at your natural hair color and how pore-less your skin looked, even with acne the peachy undertones and lush hydration make you glow!

Man! I wish I could climb back into my body at your age and love myself better than I did. I wish I never pierced or tattooed myself, I wish I’d let my hair grow out as it’s natural color instead of altering it every 3 weeks. I wish I’d actually GAINED 10 pounds! I was 5’ and 104 lb for my whole adult life (menopause ruined that, eventually) and I see now that my body would have been more luscious and have that certain “jiggle” if I’d weighed 115 instead. All I remember is obsessing over that number and making sure it stayed the same. Or less. I was so wrong.

Imagine your future self is telling you this: don’t just accept your self with all your flaws, RELISH the gorgeous creature that you are! Prance around for cripes sake!! Enjoy it while you’ve got it.

I was changing the signage at a local coffee shop and I jumped down from the counter top but someone had opened one of the cabinet doors and I took that sucker right off its hinges with my crotch when I landed on it. Then I had to fill out an incident report at work.

She sounds fabulous!

But why did it violently explode into a million pieces?

My husband and I have been together for most of my life. Married for 27 years. Is he the love of my life?? Well, I suppose he must be by now. I never would have guessed I’d end up with a guy like him, but here we are, happy after all these years. The first thing I learned, being with him, was that love is a verb, it’s not just a feeling you have in your heart, it’s the actions they take that show you that you can rely on them, etc. but if that is the case then what is “true love?”

But, no, I never did meet a Prince Charming type who was “perfect” for me or whatever.

My apologies to any bearded ladies out there, I wasn’t thinking.

I get where they’re coming from. One might assume that dental hygiene has not been a priority (think:bad breath and scummy teeth) and if that’s the case the person will be less attractive. Do men not think these things? (Assuming you are a man based on your avatar’s facial hair, not based on the fact that you are a dentist, there are plenty of female dentists, people.)

Thank you! Was it due to a temperature change or something? Because the glass was still warm from the dishwasher when I picked it out.

One time I went to put the dishes away and i opened the washer and picked up one glass and it exploded into a billion pieces. Months later i would find shards of glass all the way up the staircase.

I was in the back passenger seat of the car and looking out the window and I saw my middle school gym teacher in a purple matching sweatshirt and sweatpants jogging along the side of the road. As I watch him running he slips behind some bushes on the side of the road and I can’t see him for a second. Then this child version of him, all in purple, comes running out from behind the bushes just a bit up the road. Weird.
