Being Anti-God
I don't like this world a whole lot and if God created it, then I don't think I like God a whole lot either.

Re: Being Anti-God
Well, for one thing, I don't like someone demanding an explanation from me as though I'm somehow obligated to give them one.

Re: Being Anti-God
So, just asking you a CLARIFYING QUESTION, from a Truly OPEN perspective, and from NO expectation AT ALL, to you, is someone DEMANDING AN EXPLANATION AS THOUGH YOU OBLIGATED TO GIVE ONE, correct?Gary Childress wrote: ↑Thu Jul 22, 2021 12:55 amWell, for one thing, I don't like someone demanding an explanation from me as though I'm somehow obligated to give them one.

IF you were somewhat OPEN enough to discuss your DISLIKE here, then what you would have discovered is that 'this world', which you do NOT like a whole lot, is ACTUALLY created by you and your fellow adult human beings.
So, if you LOOKED AT "yourself", and CHANGED, instead of 'trying to' BLAME "others", then you could help in the creating and making a of a much BETTER, more LIKED 'world'. And NOT just for "yourself" but for EVERY one.

Re: Being Anti-God
I don't believe in an entity "God" as a creator, but if one doesn't like something then there are really only two options: put up with it (complaining about it is optional) or attempt to make it better. I think the latter is the better option of the two.Gary Childress wrote: ↑Thu Jul 22, 2021 12:31 am I don't like this world a whole lot and if God created it, then I don't think I like God a whole lot either.

Re: Being Anti-God
I've tried to make it better, to no avail. It seems to be the nature of the beast, however, that the world is an unsatisfactory place.AlexW wrote: ↑Thu Jul 22, 2021 2:40 amI don't believe in an entity "God" as a creator, but if one doesn't like something then there are really only two options: put up with it (complaining about it is optional) or attempt to make it better.

I think the "beast" really has no nature of its own - but it can reflect any "nature" that you project on it.

Re: Being Anti-God
I've been trying to win the heart of a woman I've fallen in love with for over 6 months now and it doesn't seem to be working. Apparently, nothing I can do there. So I beg to differ on your opinion of the world.AlexW wrote: ↑Thu Jul 22, 2021 3:03 amWhat have you been trying that didn't work?Gary Childress wrote: ↑Thu Jul 22, 2021 2:52 am I've tried to make it better, to no avail.

I am no couples counsellor, but I have just experienced my brother in law fall in love with a woman (and she is in love with him too) who rejected him two years ago - they both weren't ready at the time, but now they are.
Things just happen as they happen, the apple will fall from the tree when its ripe...

I guess I'll see what happens then. In the meantime, it's a pretty painful process to go through.AlexW wrote: ↑Thu Jul 22, 2021 3:13 amSometimes doing less, giving it time, is the best thing one can do.Gary Childress wrote: ↑Thu Jul 22, 2021 3:06 am I've been trying to win the heart of a woman I've fallen in love with for over 6 months now and it doesn't seem to be working.

Re: Being Anti-God
There's nothing you can do about chemistry. Some people are notoriously bad at reading it. I'm of the opinion that being 'in love' can't be one sided. If it is, then it's simply infatuation, or worse, obession.Gary Childress wrote: ↑Thu Jul 22, 2021 3:06 amI've been trying to win the heart of a woman I've fallen in love with for over 6 months now and it doesn't seem to be working.

Re: Being Anti-God
Okay, fair enough. But what I am ACTUALLY doing is just highlighting that word, so if what 'it' is is explained in EXACT detail, then what is discovered is that what you thought was bad, is in fact NOT that bad at all.Gary Childress wrote: ↑Thu Jul 22, 2021 2:02 amWhen you type "EXACTLY" in all caps, yes it sounds demanding.Age wrote: ↑Thu Jul 22, 2021 1:52 amSo, just asking you a CLARIFYING QUESTION, from a Truly OPEN perspective, and from NO expectation AT ALL, to you, is someone DEMANDING AN EXPLANATION AS THOUGH YOU OBLIGATED TO GIVE ONE, correct?Gary Childress wrote: ↑Thu Jul 22, 2021 12:55 am
