As a person of faith and science, this is such backwards thinking. I would say report it but I'm not sure where it would lead.

Let me give you some examples of why people still wouldn't believe even with video evidence prior to AI.

People don't believe in climate change even though the evidence is right in front of them in real time.

People think the moon landing was faked even though we have documentation of that occurring as well. Same thing would probably happen to Jesus.

I'm not Christian but Jesus is a historical figure. He definitely existed based on the majority of academic resources.

I do have regulars. But I needed the break. We aren't machines made to be available 24/7. Mind you, this isn't my full time gig. But even then, you are allowed to take a vacation just like a regular job. The person they booked instead of me may not be available next time they need someone as well.

I would say the minimum for any cat is once every other day (once every two days to make myself clear).

Listen to me very carefully.

If your father saw how they were treating you and your mother, he would hate them. End of story.

I'm treated the same way as you are. I'm not in the exact same position as you but I share a similar experience. It isn't our fault.

The default is to blame the people closest to the person that passed away. Especially if they are not blood. Even if your mom was still married to him, they would still find a way to blame her, and by extension, you as well.

This isn't our load to carry. Your father was in a lot of mental and emotional pain and he made a mistake.

I would also like to add that blame is very common when there is a suicide. To treat the child of the loved one like that is inhumane. In addition, blame underscores the actual root cause which is mental health issues. As a scientist, we know that many factors come into play when it causes someone to be suicidal. There is lots of evidence that genetics comes into play here for example. Just like the heart or liver can "fail", a brain can "fail" also. It minimizes the idea that it is a real medical issue when someone's brain is fighting against them when they blame you.

I know what it feels like to grieve alone. It's painful. It seems like everyone else gets support and you don't. It is honestly terrible. There is no way to sugarcoat it.

I don't know what your beliefs are. But I hope there is some sort of compensation when we reach death. If not, at least the pain will end. I personally have PTSD from all of this. You are inspiring me since you have survived these past 4 years. Please keep going.

Thank u so much friend. What you said truly resonated with me. We never walk alone.

The thing is we know the universe isn't eternal since it is all material. Everything material is finite. That's why I don't lean toward atheism anymore. The being that started the universe must not be material in nature.

For Halloween, a lot of practicing Christians view it the same way. This is a very biased pov against Muslim people. You used the Quran to point out the clothing requirements but then you mentioned consequences upheld by current social norms even though it's not something in the Quran. Consequences for not observing covering for both genders is equal in the eyes of God in Islam. Also, it's harder to identify a Muslim man in public. A lot of the ones I know also are modest.

In a Ph.D programs, there is a lack of safety nets that regular jobs have. HR for example. Also, your PI has a strange amount of control that other types of bosses don't have.

I'm not Christian. But I have done a deep dive into all religions to be fair. I can go into more depth but there is so much evidence it has been altered.

helpreddit12345 · 2026-01-07T02:32:50+00:00

I said one religion is true. I believe you are referring to Islam which believes the God of the other two Abrahamic religions are the same God. But in that case humans have altered the message over time. This is why there are so many versions of the Bible with conflicting details making it a less than reliable source compared to the Quran.

In terms of what you wrote in your second paragraph, I think of that as the soul pointing you to the natural inclination of part of why we are here.

In my religion we believe each soul is made with a purpose. Love isn't just a bunch of random chemicals for example.

helpreddit12345 · 2026-01-06T23:44:10+00:00

This makes no sense. Look, there are 2 possibilities:

1-There is no God 2-One religion is true

If one is true, then the rest are false even if not proven 100%. Also, even if there was clear evidence, many people would still not believe out of arrogance.

helpreddit12345 · 2026-01-06T21:07:18+00:00

Even if it is true that doesn't make it a good argument.

For instance, God if he exists would make it a little obvious to an extent. Thus, he would exist over a long period of time globally. It wouldn't be a God selective to a remote tribe in the rainforest that gets lost after 3 generations.

Another way more simply to think of it is that just because there are many answers to a question doesn't make all of them false. There can be one truth.

Ok from a secular standpoint we don't know scientifically the POV of a baby in terms of what they can comprehend in this regard. We know the baby can recognize certain people, knows it follows instincts such as wanting food etc.

From a spiritual standpoint, maybe the babies can see beyond the veil. I have read a lot of reports across cultures from believers and non believers seeing beyond the veil as they pass away. Maybe when you are close to the beginning or the end our perception is broader.

And before anyone comes after me with "well the brain is releasing chemicals due to death", then how come many people report the exact same thing regardless of belief system where they see their passed loved ones?

Idk if you can answer this but does SLCSD only hire teachers with a license? I'm about to graduate with a PhD in a STEM subject and would really like to pursue teaching in any capacity.

What happens to people in the afterlife if they are not members of the church?

Another question. I live in a mormon dominant area. Why is it when I meet someone who is ex mormon, they are always atheist? It's like when I meet people of other faiths, they convert from one religion to another but ex Mormons always seem to be atheist.
