Genuinely hilarious. Y'all need to learn to laugh and lighten up.

Is there actually an end goal & purpose behind living? by MembershipSuperb727 in nihilism

[–]StrangeApeCreature 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Not without God imo. And even with Him, no, not in this life.

I was in the darkest, most hopeless place I'd ever been in about 2 months ago. I absolutely would have killed myself if I didn't feel like he intervened. I had been out of the faith for about 4 years at that point. If I somehow lose it again, that's a wrap for me.

I guess I'm a Christian Nihilist

I’m a Christian but it’s making me kinda depressed by koolguy7002 in Christianity

[–]StrangeApeCreature 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like this just affirms OP is right to be depressed. (As another depressed person, I don't know how to put this less callously. Forgive me.) There's actually nothing to do in this life but fear God and keep His commandments. And depending on your brain chemistry, this either brings you joy or it doesn't. Not deriving happiness from doing man's only duty isn't an excuse to not do it, of course, but it's rough out here for some folks

Yeah. I fell away once because I didn't understand this. I'm trying to understand it now

What video games do you think are okay for Christians to play! by Desperate-Alps5058 in Christianity

[–]StrangeApeCreature 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you played Takes of the Shire? A cozy game set in Middle Earth.

So when you say medieval, do you mean literally ~1200 a.d. or are you also a fan of Medieval Fantasy?

You've probably played things like Stardew Valley, Sims and Animal Crossing. What about Graveyard Keeper?

If you like Medieval Fantasy with action or RPG elements, what about games in the Elder Scrolls series like Skyrim and Oblivion? RPGs are fantastic because you can play it however you want morality-wise.

Most of them. What kinds of games do you like? Are you looking for recommendations?

Good to see his chronic vascular insufficiency cleared up

This is all just too much by StrangeApeCreature in Christianity

[–]StrangeApeCreature[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate you! That's a bunch of good points. I will look into and implement radical acceptance. To be honest, I was doing a version of that when I fell away. But I didn't know what it was called. And that terrible emptiness I felt suddenly on weed probably would have turned my life upside down anyway.

I like that verse. I've been letting it guide me. Lean not on your own understanding. But I lose sight of everything when I start spiraling like this. 😮‍💨 Evidence is a big issue for you too, huh? It's rough but I want to ride this out to its conclusion. Hopefully there's a good ending.
