I gave almost all my savings to a woman that I wanted to love me. She was a single mom and at first, it felt like I was doing something worthwhile for her. Unfortunately, it meant nothing. It amounted to nothing. She's finally blown me off after I got mad at her for some of the shit she put me through. Now I'm a mess. My dad died about 9 months ago and I had to be the one to tell the doctors to take him off life support according to his living will that stated he didn't want to be on life support. I basically gave the word to let my own father die.
So I got mad at God. I got mad at people who believe in God. I got even madder at people who believe in a benevolent God. Now, on top of being broke and a patricidal son, I feel like I'm going to burn in Hell for being pissed at God and saying a lot of crap about him (assuming Christians are right and there is a God and the Bible is the word of God transcribed by human beings).
The term or phrase 'burn in hell' has NOT and NEVER has absolutely ANY 'thing' to do with an individual person after the human body that they are IN stops breathing and stops pumping blood.
WHEN will 'you', adult human beings, WAKE UP and REALIZE what the words 'heaven' AND 'hell' are ACTUALLY MEANING and REFERRING TO, EXACTLY?
ONCE AGAIN, I will suggest that 'you', people, STOP ASSUMING and/or BELIEVING 'things' and just BE-COME and just REMAIN Truly OPEN UNTIL 'you' FIND OUT and DISCOVER what the ACTUAL Truth REALLY IS.

This has been a shitty year. If there is a God, then I'd like to think that God isn't a sensitive snowflake who gets bent out of shape over what an angry human thinks or says of him. I'd like to think that I won't go to hell because of it or because I don't go to church.
WHY do some of 'you', adult human beings, STILL, in the days when this is being written, PERSIST WITH the MOST OUT-DATED, STUPID, ILLOGICAL, and NONSENSICAL NOTION that God is 'male gendered'?

The woman who ditched me was a practicing Catholic. She introduced me to a Christian support group program called "Celebrate Recovery". We both attended the first time and then she stopped going but I kept at it for a while. I attended Catholic church with her once but she told me never to attend with her again because I was an embarrassment to her and her family for confiding in the priest afterward concerning having a problem with pornography. I felt like scum on scum's shoes after that.
Well that is WHAT HAPPENS when 'you', Wrong DOING adult human beings, JUDGE "each other".
For some of 'you' the ONLY way 'you' can feel 'good' about "yourselves" is TO JUDGE "others" and TO MAKE 'them' feel 'bad'.
Which is just ANOTHER BLIGHT on the Truly ILL, TWISTED, and DISTORTED WAY of 'thinking', which 'you', adult human beings, LIVE BY, in the days when this is being written.

I don't worship God. I'll never worship God and I'll never be a regular churchgoer. As far as I'm concerned, religion and theology are a joke.
WHY? Because you gave a female human being some money, and now she will NOT talk to you again?
Gary Childress wrote: ↑Wed Nov 29, 2023 10:49 am
As far as I'm concerned, I don't owe God an iota of reverence. To be honest, if there is indeed a heaven and hell to follow this life,
There IS MOST DEFINITELY a heaven OR hell about to follow 'this life'. 'This life', though, is JUST NOT what you IMAGINE and ENVISION 'it' is.
Gary Childress wrote: ↑Wed Nov 29, 2023 10:49 am
then I expect to go to heaven.
The rate at which 'you', adult human beings, are progressing and proceeding here, in the days when this is being written, 'you', "gary childress", will NOT be 'around' ANYMORE to EXPERIENCE 'life on earth as 'it' IS in Heaven'.
But, then again, 'you', adult human beings, may just MAKE THE CHANGE, SOONER, rather than LATER.

After all the shit I've put up with in life, God is lucky I haven't taken up serial killing as a pastime.
Now 'we' ARE GETTING SOMEWHERE, here.
Also, what is ' all of the, so-called, 'shit' ', i would be VERY SURPRISED if 'it' was HALF of what A LOT of "other human beings" have HAD TO 'put up with'.
Gary Childress wrote: ↑Wed Nov 29, 2023 10:49 am
I've given to charitable causes. I've volunteered for charitable causes.
Money, and more correctly, the want or love of money IS what IS CAUSING and CREATING A LOT of the issues that 'you', human beings, HAVE TO LIVE WITH and THROUGH, in the days when this is being written. And, 'charities' OBVIOUSLY DO NOT and WILL NOT WORK in ACTUALLY MAKING 'life', itself, BETTER.
Giving to charities is PART OF the ACTUAL PROBLEM.

Heck, my whole life savings went to a single mom to help her when she was flat broke and needed surgery (among other things).
'you' previously STATED and CLAIMED that 'you' gave ALMOST ALL your savings but 'now' 'you' are STATING and CLAIMING 'you' gave 'your' WHOLE life savings.
Which, by the way, was 'how much', "gary childress"?
Gary Childress wrote: ↑Wed Nov 29, 2023 10:49 am
No. After spending the majority of my life with mental illness, I won't accept hell. God owes me better than that.
WHEN will 'you' EVER DECIDE IF God exists, or NOT?
Gary Childress wrote: ↑Wed Nov 29, 2023 10:49 am
But this is what is probably more likely the case. I suspect I'll disappear forever into oblivion when I go.
OF COURSE 'you' DO.
WHAT did 'you' think or BELIEVE would HAPPEN TO 'you', "gary childress"?
Gary Childress wrote: ↑Wed Nov 29, 2023 10:49 am
I suspect that if there's a creator--based on the nature of this world--s/he doesn't give a rat's ass about human beings any more than God gave a shit about the cockroach I killed an hour ago that was crawling around on my computer desk.
Do 'you', the human being, have the ABILITY to KNOW what IS Right and Wrong, in Life, and TO KNOW how to TREAT ALL 'creatures', properly AND Correctly?
Now, does a cockroach or ANY other animal have 'this ABILITY'?
Gary Childress wrote: ↑Wed Nov 29, 2023 10:49 am
That cockroach probably didn't go to an "afterlife". It's dead, never to scurry around my desk again.
YES, 'it' 'now' does NOT have the ABILITY to EXPERIENCE 'this One and ONLY 'world/Life'. EXACTLY LIKE what happened to ALL of 'you', human beings, BACK in the days when this was being written.

I grew up an atheist and became agnostic after studying philosophy. If that pissed God off, then he's had more than his revenge against me. We're even as far as I'm concerned. If a burning bush materialized in front of me and told me it was sorry for all the shit I've been through, I'd tell it not to bother. I'm beyond apologies. If Christ returns anytime in the near future, I'll tell him to fetch me a cup of coffee.
WHY do 'you' think or BELIEVE that 'you' seemingly ALWAYS see "your" 'self' AS the VICTIM "gary childress"?
The ACTUAL ANSWER WHY IS VERY OBVIOUS, that is; ONCE one LEARNS, or DISCOVERS, and UNDERSTAND HOW to LOOK AT and SEE 'things' how 'they' REALLY ARE.
Gary Childress wrote: ↑Wed Nov 29, 2023 10:49 am
On second thought, if Christ returns, I won't bother to ask him for anything. There's nothing Christ can do to make up for this life. Maybe if I hang garlic outside my door and post a sign it'll keep him off the lawn.
'To make up for this life'. 'you' come across as about the BIGGEST 'victim' i have EVER HEARD "gary childress".
'you', as an adult human being, GAVE 'a women' money, IN THE HOPE that "she" would then 'love you'. Now WHO IS TO BLAME for what THEN HAPPENED?
Gary Childress wrote: ↑Wed Nov 29, 2023 10:49 am
However, just in case you exist, I'll see you in heaven, God.
Here is ANOTHER PRIME example of 'self-centeredness', 'greed', 'the ego', and/or 'the devil' AT WORK, and AT PLAY, here.
'you' WILL NOT BE GOING TO Heaven "gary childress", UNLESS 'you' CHANGE 'your' WAYS.

The food better be good. But if you send me to hell you'd better be thankful you're God and I'm not. Otherwise, I'd rip you a new one.
