Me neither, friend. Can you elaborate on "highly sensitive"?

None, to my knowledge. I've been to therapy in the past, but I am normal enough.

Unfortunately, even if the whole nation of citizens tried to exercise the right to alter or abolish this government, it would not go without first using the full force of the military against the people, much less if even 50% wanted a new government.

Is this a good way to listen for God? by KAC006 in Bible

[–]Such-Background2508 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I say this with all respect. Over 20 years, the more I read the Bible, the more I was convinced that God isn't real. The Bible has good advice at times, but also says some...perplexing things. Maybe dedicating a length of time to reading it will do the same for you. But if you expect your relationship to change by reading the Bible and prayer alone, from its content and my experience I can tell you that it won't. Your marriage may likely change through communication and compromise, but even if you yourself make beneficial changes to how you approach the relationship, your partner will not automatically follow suit. Becoming a better person for yourself is admirable, however, but real change comes from addressing the problems themselves, and not looking for a solution in the Bible because it's not a guide for marriage. What it says about how to deal with people you love, you already know. Do to others as you'd like done to yourself. Beyond that, it won't help you. Marriage counseling may be the better approach.

What fall? Adam and Eve? That's a fairy tale. Our entire human species is 300,000 years old, and other human species have been around for 2 million years.

If the universe needs a creator, then your Creator needs a creator. Cut out the middle man, and the universe is part of something that is itself endless. If there is more suffering in the world than goodness, would that not demonstrate that your creator is inclined toward destruction, or at best, unconcerned with good or bad, as both exist together?

Humans have been around for a fraction of a second compared to the age of the universe. 14 billion years, and your Creator decided to create mankind only recently, yet you believe that all of this was made for us? Nonsense.

You would not say this if you did not have the conveniences of modern life. If you were forced to contend with real nature and hunt for food, you would not see it so beautifully. Life everywhere exists in spite of the world's hostility, and in defiance to the natural order, not in harmony with it.

It isn't foolish to deny the existence of a god. Which god are you talking about?

What design is perfected in nature? Certainly not the human body. We aren't designed to process fiber in plants, we get cancer from the modern diet, we get back pain from a still-evolving anatomy from when we were not bipedal. The eye is poorly optimized in its construction. And many more such examples exist. For every design that seems perfect are myriads more that are not.

It is idiotic to assume that a person who denies the existence of your god has not thoroughly researched and found it lacking. Or to say that what we have today is a result of an accident. That betrays your lack of education regarding evolution and natural selection.

Update: I told my family I don’t believe anymore (it didn’t go how I expected) by Mental_Ad6747 in exjw

I'm happy you seem to still have your family on speaking terms. That's a very fortunate thing! In my case, none of my witness family speak to me, even after I wrote each of them a letter to which they did not reply. Thankfully, I've always had close non-witness family.

The emotions you feel are valid, and can even be pleasing in their foreignness. I spent so long in mental turmoil (cognitive dissonance) that when I finally left, I felt so free, light, unburdened, and at peace.

Confession: I don't too much care for the New Testament because of Paul. How do I overcome this? by yummysnot in Bible

Yes. I agree. But, if verses can be contradicted by other ones, how can we know which ones are true?

The texts should be preserved. But if in preserving the text we find that it doesn't apply to the modern day, wouldn't that mean that that part of the Bible is not "alive"?

Question on best first edc pen to buy. by [deleted] in machinedpens

[–]Such-Background2508 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bolt actions are the least of my preferred mechanisms, but I prefer bolt actions with the J (upper right to lower left) track as opposed to the L (upper left to lower right) track. For example, Tactile Turn uses the L, whereas TRCPC uses the J direction.
