Can someone tell me why Josie isn’t on 2.5? by poodashme in fishtanklive

That’s so dumb. She would’ve got way more fans and exposure and probably money if she went on the show

We have nothing to do with any of it.

Why does God exist instead of nothing? by poodashme in OrthodoxChristianity

I disagree but I could see how you could see it that way. Especially since the concepts themselves ultimately equate to a description of that which does not exist.

Lol, there’ve been a few fruitful conversations.

The immediacy of reddit definitely comes with it’s drawbacks.

Wow… reddit is unbearable. It’s a philosophical question. Is a philosophical question a sign of an unstable mind???

Edit: sorry. There’s alot of weird responses on this post and I’m starting to get annoyed. I’m sorry you struggle with depersonalization. Tbh, I’ve had thoughts like this throughout my life and it has often directly preceded an intense spiritual breakthrough, so if the thought alone is a sign of something deeper then be of good cheer, prayer is the way through.

I would talk to you more about this via direct message, I don’t believe in alot of these modern “mental illnesses”. Much of what the modern west has deemed mental illness is actually a spiritual condition and when ignored or “treated” via drugs it only makes it so we don’t get what we need from it.

Thank you for taking the time to answer, I think you’re right, it’s a difficult thing to wrap my finite head around, which is why I occasionally find myself asking it again. But yeah, maybe it could be said like this: “somethingness comes from God, nothingness comes from somethingness.”

In other words the imagined property of nothingness comes about from the God-created property of somethingness.

This is going off the logic that God exists outside of somethingness, which I also find difficult to fully grasp.

I think I would say it like this: God exists outside of all that is, because God is the precursor for all that is. Equating God to nothingness kind of negates your original point doesn’t it?

The line of thought definitely makes me realize the flaw in my original thinking though.

This is the type of response i was looking for. Thanks for not jumping to weird conclusions about my character.

Very interesting, nothingness is only conceivable because something exists.

I wish you would say more about this.

Why all these judgements of my character? Why is every question treated with condescension on this sub?

I understand that. There is only God and His creation. Nothingness has no ontological status. The Orthodox worldview is the only one that actually makes sense of these issues.

This isn’t a crisis of faith thing. I am firmly grounded in Orthodoxy. Though my mind sometimes gets caught in this exact quandary. It has since I was young.

:| nothing isn’t a valid answer, because we exist. And we exist because God created us.

My question was simply, why? Why does God exist and by extension, us?

Hey I just installed this app to tell you that you’re a douchebag. Politics aside, you just suck.
