quit person with personal spiritual contemplations in their private home
I assume you mean "quiet" person.
But here's the thing: religion affects beliefs. Beliefs drive our actions. Whether or not that shit comes out verbally, it still affects us all.
But I would not be responding if there was no offense in the first place. Too many times, it does not stay quiet. It comes out loud and aggressive.
I am willing to read proof that these people are the same evil as the institutions are but if that proof exists i think the bigger problem would be the apparent surveillance and thought police of peoples private mind that is required for that proof.
No, we only need to read the bible they get their beliefs from. It's an abuser's handbook. Psychotic. Deadly. Baseless.
PLEASE stop defending death cults.
If they kept it to themselves and never expressed it in any way, we wouldn't be having this conversation. But they don't, and the bible explicitly tells them to spread the cancer.
Are you afraid of the judgment you might receive upon completion?
It may also be a comfort thing. The end of a project means the end of a status quo you have come to expect. Change can be scary because we don't know whether the next thing will be worse.
God exists on a completely different plane than we do
Special pleading. God seemingly only exists in human heads, he's imaginary.
his cause is himself as to be God, you need to be perfect
"Perfect" is human bullshit. Would you like to define "perfect" as you're using it here? Have we ever observed anything perfect?
and rely only on yourself.
Like the universe itself seems to do, no god required.
You keep repeating the same fallacies: god of the gaps and special pleading. Philosophy is not evidence. Philosophy is "if what I'm saying is true, then what I'm saying is true." But there is no evidence verifying the premise or the conclusion. Anyone can make shit up, it's not impressive.
You claim god exists with no evidence, specifically citing the unproven idea that everything must have a cause. Oops, right, everything except god, because he's special. What's stopping me from claiming god was created by Jod? Why don't you believe every unproven claim ever made? Do you believe in unicorns? Leprechauns? Fairies? If not, why not?
you do not have a sufficient reason to know whether your knowledge is defunct or not.
No, we use evidence. Observable evidence. "I think gravity exists." We experiment. We demonstrate it. We can use it to make predictions. It goes from hypothesis to knowledge even if we don't completely understand the underlying mechanics of it.
Thus, if we deny the principle of sufficient reason, knowledge and truth cannot exist
What a stupid thing to claim. I reject the PSR because there is no evidence for it. None of my other knowledge magically disappears as a result. If there was no truth, we would not be conversing right now.
Not a bad idea, I'll try to remember next week. Today we set small but relevant goals, potentially attainable ones, like exercising more and eating healthier. I have an alcohol dependency because my parents abused me before I could even think. Everything is suffering and life has never been worth living. So it's difficult for me to commit to recovery.
Hey shitbag. The correct response is "I'm glad you are seeking help, please keep trying." I live in the bible belt. Education is a joke and everything is a scam.
Do you think I should have stayed with the therapist who suggested I normalize my parents' abusive qualities? That shit gets people killed.
The average person goes through 2-3 therapists when seeking help. And, guess what?
Others need four or five tries, particularly if they’re dealing with something specialized like trauma processing, eating disorders, or identity-related concerns where shared understanding matters more. Neither scenario means something is wrong with you. The search itself is a normal part of the process.
Thank you. Unfortunately, abuse has been normalized, hence the downvotes, yet no compelling counterarguments.
Children can't advocate for themselves. They need us to push back against the attitudes that lead to their needless suffering. It's largely thankless work, but very important.
Fewer high-wage workers and more low-wage workers; also, many companies moved down to southern states, where unions were not as strong. Ronald Reagan broke the PATCO strike in 1981.
Thank you. 🥲 I went to school for web development because I wanted to make video games. I haven't made any games since my Flash days, but I do have an ad-free website where you can see more of my unhinged struggle, if anyone cares. No pressure. https://snoopsqueak.com/
I could fix the search bar any day, but I want to be careful to sanitize the input and I've been dealing with a lot, so I've been putting it off. I need to get another job before I run out of money.
You can't continue letting the past control your present and your future. You have to take accountability for yourself and your own actions.
Listen carefully. I did not choose to be abused; in fact, I specifically requested not to. But it happened. It is physically a part of me. I can't pretend it away. Please stop blaming the victims.
That in and of itself was not child abuse.
Yes it was, and I'm sorry it happened to you. You deserved better.
This is why you're getting negative votes and responses.
Because people aren't using their brains. Because it's easier to continue normalizing abuse than to break the cycle.
If you have access to it, please consider therapy
My next appointment is tomorrow. This is my fifth therapist, none of the others have been a good fit.
Although you are not listening to reason, I can at least thank you for treating me like a human being. It matters a lot.

I was abused because you won't take a stand.

I'm no expert, just guessing.

...has no evidence supporting it.

Fuck you for victim-blaming. Your ignorance is deadly.
Oops, you forgot the crucial difference again: Evidence.
They started the fight. Before bullshit, we had reality. People choose to lie about it and they don't care who it hurts.
I'm not forcing anyone to lie. I'm just observing.
Stop defending liars. The abrahamic faiths are literal death cults.
We're all better without superstition.
You keep citing the number of believers as if that makes it right. It doesn't, and people are dying for it.
We should all try to align our beliefs as closely to reality as possible.
Correct! Thank you. It is frightening how living human beings will defend literal death cults WHILE THEY ARE KILLING US.
Stop defending child abuse.
Or I was broken beyond repair. Are you a therapist? You don't know what you're talking about.
Weird how you're still defending deadly lies instead of the victims. Stop tolerating death cults.

The only reason I need help in the first place is because shitbags like you keep blaming the victims and normalizing child abuse.
I have therapy tomorrow. It doesn't change what my parents did.

Short answer: republicans.

I see. I mean this genuinely, that's pretty funny. 🙂
Like, "imagine living. Pfft. Could never be me."
