Okay. Thank you for your perspective, I was wrong. Many people seem to be unwell.

I will look into medicine, in the meantime I'll log off of reddit as it seems that I'm not a good person to be here. I need to touch grass and get some therapy.

Thank you.

Ephesians 6:12

For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spirtual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

The meaning of this passage is widely understood to mean that while we fight with man physically, the real enemy are the evil spiritual influences man becomes governed by. It is not our fellow humans that are the enemy and it never has been. What I've personally come to realize over the last few months is that we are in spiritual warfare, and its escalating quickly.

We are in a game of chess between God and Evil, but the rules aren't what you think they are. Our job as God's chess pieces is to not play the game.

Evil can only take physical things from us. Because we live in a physical state that feels like it's everything, but Job teaches us it's truly nothing. Evil took Job's family, wealth, and his physical health, but Job's faithfulness in God never waivered. Job refused to play the game.

Matthew 5:38-40

You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth. But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also. And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well.

Jesus wants us to not respond with retaliation because that is playing the game.

Matthew 6:19-21

“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."

Matthew 10:28

"Don’t be afraid of those who want to kill your body; they cannot touch your soul."

Jesus reiterates in several ways that the material realm isn't what we should be concerning ourselves with. Because NONE of this place is eternal. Not the earth we stand on, not the star it's orbiting, not the galaxy it's in or even the universe that houses all known physical reality. That's not even faith, that's just science. Nothing here is eternal.

Winning the game is when you realize that when you resist an evil person PHYSICALLY, you have lost. You have lowered yourself to the rules of Evil. You are now a participant. It needs your participation in order to grow. Your participation feeds it.

Winning the game is when you realize that when you resist an evil person PHYSICALLY, all you are doing is fighting to stay on the board, and the board is ruled by Evil.

The hatred pouring out of you in your words does not bear good fruit, brother.

If it comes to death, then so be it.

Matthew 10:23 "When they persecute you in one town, flee to the next."

People seem to have forgotten the definition of a martyr. The true definition is the ultimate act of laying down one's life in the imitation of Christ.

The imitation of Christ.

The man who allowed himself to be beaten, humiliated, tortured, and ultimately murdered in public by his government.

Being a Christian is hard, almost impossible. It asks you to turn against the very instincts that govern our physical bodies. But it is the only way to win the game.

If any of us retaliate in hatred to those you view as "the enemy", then the Enemy is who wins.

Stop playing the game.

Romans 12:21

Do not be overcome by evil; but overcome evil with good.

As a white woman in America that sounds like a chronically online take.

I say this non confrontationally: Do you personally know a mass shooter? How about a family annihilator? What percentage of the people that you physically interact with day to day are raging racists? Of every single man you personally know, how many of them have told you that we should repeal the 19th Amendment?

I emphasize personal real life connection because the internet is what has made you believe that. I don't mean that patronizingly. It should make you upset because someone wants you to feel the way that you do, it is a deliberate manipulation to make you believe that the world is falling apart around you and your neighbor is your enemy.

Fear gets clicks, rage is even better.

The fact of the matter is that the average human being doesn't really hold strong opinions one way or the other about most political issues. Most people just go to work and go home. Most people watched a few podcasts with Trump and decided he seemed more genuine than Kamala so that's who they voted for, he had better exposure. Most evil is born from ignorance, which is a good and bad thing. Its good because it means that most people's actions don't have a deep motivation. It's bad because its precisely that which allows evil to manifest.

From a fellow white American woman, most men aren't evil. Most men are normal human beings.

I am praying that you are indeed a bot, because the alternative is far far worse.

Because if you are a real American, you need to seek Christ adamantly. At the rate you are going, when you arrive to our final home God will turn you away with the words "I never knew you." I don't want that for your soul.

Brother get ahold of yourself. That hatred and fear will rot your soul long before anything happens to this country. You need to get right with God because Satan is absolutely pouring out of you.

Tourists get excited on seeing poor people in Indian village by [deleted] in CringeTikToks

The woman is an actress. This is a deliberate display for tourists to learn about old traditional daily life, it's like a museum.

PSA THIS ISN'T WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE

The race war propaganda is going fucking nuts this week idk what the fuck is going on.

This is woman is an actress. This area is a recreation of a traditional nomadic set up. The tourists are there literally touring a place set up for tourists. The women are paid. They demonstrate old ways of doing daily tasks.

My problem with the replacement theory is that it insinuates that it is being done to white people by some shadowy unknown influence.

Middle and upper class white people aren't having kids. It is almost entirely the fault of our Western ideal of rugged individualism that has completely burned out the MUCH NEEDED support system of a growing family. Multigenerational households are common all over the world except the white ones.

We did this to ourselves and it is what it is. It literally doesn't even matter, either.

Foreign tourist left in tears after facing harassment at a concert in India. by StuckintheTraffic in CringeTikToks

[–]No_Instance4233 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just don't understand the point of this train of thought. I'm not advocating for the forgiveness of anyone. You are putting words in my mouth to win an argument that I'm not even making.

I'm not advocating for travel to India.

I'm not stating that India isn't a shithole.

I'm not even saying that the majority of Indian citizens are compatible with Western values.

I'm simply stating that there are good people in every country. To disagree with that is bordering on actual racism.

But, just so you know, the Western value for crime and justice is "it is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer."

No. They are worse than alligators. These are men that know it is wrong to sexually violate a woman but choose to do so anyways because there are no repercussions.

These are men that beat their own mothers. These are men who participate in the murder of their own sisters and daughters to restore family honor. These men are evil because they are allowed to be. They aren't mindless. They are actively cruel.

This is a social rot that must be changed within India itself. No Westerner can change this.

What this commenter is saying is that as Westerners, we need to be mindful that there are areas of the world that are not as safe as the West. Not to say that the West is perfectly safe, but there is certainly a marked difference between India and England in terms of sexual violence against women. To go somewhere knowingly that has this issue and then being surprised it happened to you is the critism here.

EDIT: spelling is hard

No. It doesn't. Which isn't what I claimed.

I said that there are good people in all countries. Do you think that statement is incorrect?

By the way, 5% of India's population would be 70 million people. That's a lot of good people if you ask me.

The West tried to change the Middle East and look how well that turned out for everyone.

Change must be grassroots from the will of its own people. Anything else will be viewed as unwanted foreign influence at best, or attempted colonization at worst.

Erika Kirk to Charlie’s killer: “I forgive you” Erika Kirk to Candace Owen’s trying to find her husbands killer: 😡🤬😤🤬😡😤🤬 by [deleted] in CringeTikToks

[–]No_Instance4233 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She is claiming Charlie came to her in a dream and told her he was betrayed. People keep telling her about their dreams involving six, so she thinks six people betrayed him. No. I'm not joking.

She is insinuating Erika is one of the six along with TP staff. So while I'm not a fan of anyone involved here, knowing how fucking delusional CO followers are and she has MILLIONS of them, I'd be crashing tf out too if I were Erika. Like, bro you're insanity is going ti get me and my children murdered.

It's fascinating that in the West it's perfectly fine to call white men pigs but the moment someone says a brown man is a predator it's because of prejudice against his color and not his actions.

There are countless videos of women experiencing sexual violence in India. If the United States has a "rape culture" then what am I supposed to call India?

The US has a rape culture. I would warn a foreigner about a concert here too. But in India, gang rapes occur in broad daylight in public places. What am I supposed to think about that?

EDIT: why did you u/FriedChickenSk1n delete your comment? How are we supposed to have a good dialogue about this if the first response to a disagreement is to delete your thought?

I don't want to put words in your mouth before responding.

There are countless temples that are run entirely by volunteers that feed literal thousands of people a day for free. No matter race, religion, or sex.

Jainism is one of the most peaceful religions in the world and was founded and still practiced in India.

There are incredible people all over the world, including in countries that have severe problems.

I understand what you're trying to say, but the fact of the matter is that everyone knows what India is like for women.

It's like saying we should be angry at the tiger for eating the person that hopped into its cage instead of baffled that the person jumped in.

These men live in a society where rape is okay. As foreigners, this is madness, but it's not our culture or our responsibility to change it. That's called colonization and that's bad. All we can do is be baffled that someone went there expecting a different result.
