You can be educated and hardworking and be a morally reprehensible human being that will absolutely burn in Hell (Henry Kissinger, for example). No, the people need some sort of shared moral ground, something axiomatic, so they police themselves and don’t cannibalize each other. Amorality (because moral relativists don’t believe in acts being ultimately, undeniably immoral) is the problem.
No, friend, those people are forged by life, not bred. But if we all had a higher floor (ideologically - ethically), some of us could reach higher ceilings.
Autocracy is convenient when the leader is wise and just. Sadly, even if we found one, they’re not genetic traits. Democracy is convenient in any other case, but it’s harder to properly implement compared to autocracy.

Those are your only “leftist” ideas? 😅 But no, if it’s still uncertain, it bears examination until it’s not anymore, one way or another, and that goes for every idea.
I bet they think they’re just “following orders” like their forefathers…
females are an electric light in the life of men close touch of a female can soothe the most wild beast
This was poetry. ❤️
But women are just people in the end, you don’t really believe they’re particularly backstabbing or treasonous, right? Some are confused and might hurt you too in their confusion, but that’s why you gotta be discerning so you don’t give your heart to a careless person. Too much hope can blind you, but too much negativity/fear won’t let you get out of the house.
Some people are just large toddlers…
Of course! Mark 10:18. One must remember Jesus was a miraculous prophet of God (not dissimilar to Moses, but his birth was more “special”, more akin that of Isaac), a monotheist that constantly referenced “the law and the prophets” (several callbacks to Solomon in particular whom I also hold in high regard, primarily because of Ecclesiastes) and how he wasn’t here to break the law but to enforce it… he wasn’t followed because he wasn’t a “Jew” and it was a new and revolutionary religion he had established, he was followed because he WAS one and remembered/knew what it meant to be one in earnest. What Rome/Paulian tradition did afterwards with the image of Jesus, the creation of a entirely separate dogma in which ‘God’ is actually a pantheon and also partly FLESH AND BONE/anthropomorphic (following their pagan/polytheistic traditions, and because if not the empire might be reticent to accept such drastic changes), is something else.
There’s no “perfect” man, not even the prophets can be with all their God-given information and their great character, as no man is omniscient nor fully in control of themselves. And Jesus goes even harder, saying he’s not even “good”, because such a strict category only belongs to God. We can only be “good enough”, and that’s for God to decide.
Because “f u, I got mine” (and the other side of the coin too: “if I got fugged, so will you”) is the one true creed in American society, and everyone that opposes it is a heretic/commie.
If they care for you and love you back, that shouldn’t be a problem, right? Life is, and I’m quoting Solomon here, ultimately meaningless/vain/empty/vapor, what better life could we have than to love and be loved? Not everyone is a prophet/disease curing scientist/victorious revolutionary, the rest of us can focus on just enjoying our lives wisely (fearing God and keeping his commandments = being a good person in earnest), loving and being loved, as it fills us way better than food and shopping can.
I’m sorry you’re in such circumstances, yeah, it’s kinda shit… But hopefully you’re wrong about being undesirable and someone good and not too old comes along! Maybe it could start online? Anyway, sorry again, God bless you.
Benign? The man cannot be outside without being in constant fear!
Low quality as in ‘the visual spectacle is better in this Hollywood movie than in this other one’? Most people I know have no ear for dialogue, only eyes for explosions and titties (and soyfacing at characters from recognizable IPs) and sometimes, only sometimes, cinematography, so for the vast majority of people I’ve met the budget for CGI and cute/popular actors and actresses is directly responsible for how enjoyable the experience will be.
If not then no, not necessarily. Hollywood makes maybe 3 movies a year that don’t insult my intelligence and have at least enough depth that a serious conversation can arise from its themes. They have all the money in the world but, for me, the quality of ‘pop movies’ has steadily declined since the early 00s.
I hate them all so much the last one I used and made an account for was Facebook, and that account has stayed entirely unused for about a decade. I can only handle so much stupidity at a time and I hate being disappointed by my friends’ uncooked, ignorant opinions so I’d rather be blind and deaf to what they do and say online, I just judge them for what they say and do to me directly…
I don’t think Reddit counts as ‘social media’, it’s a message board, a place for pseudonymous debate, but not what I would consider a social media site.
That’s Jesus’ “why do you call me good? Only the Father is good”. You can never be perfect nor infallible, of course, but maybe you’ll be good enough and God will approve of you and that’s all we can work towards. No need to use this understanding to give yourself moral allowances though: let your mistakes be mistakes and not plans for immorality.
“Yo, you could be at least a little happier and grateful about it, you know I could be {doing something else that I actually enjoy}, I’m just doing this for you!”
Why won’t you try your luck at love again? Buying a house is easier done with a partner who works too…
That I actually do have a bad temper and do get angry very easily, that my anger does not justify my verbal/physical reactions (nor was I ‘right’ just because I was angry) and that these reactions will hurt those I care about/those I don’t care about but still didn’t deserve my violence, which is a surefire way to end up in jail (perhaps) and in Hell (more likely).
For everyone who has similar issues, try to remember two things:
The last two might make sense, the others don’t. But regardless, what is boring to one might not be to others. Some watch movies for visual spectacle and beautiful shots, others for deep, well written stories and sentimentality, strong emotion well portrayed, for instance. Preference is not necessarily an objective measure of quality, is what I’m saying, and that’s okay. That’s why you find some critic that watches movies for the same reasons and then try not to miss the movies he also enjoyed…
