Boy, I wish I was that confidently incorrect.
Depression is both chemical and mental. We've had people living very comfortable and luxurious lives killing themselves over depression. Maybe they felt trapped in their gilded cages, I don't know.
With me it's mostly mental. Thoughts I cannot run from haunt me and at best are just always at the back of my mind. I can't change my environment because they will follow me. I can't change my thought because they won't go away and let me. I'm just doomed to suffer with the knowledge that I have, which weighs on me like the world on Atlas. But just as he, I still somehow manage with my task.
Some days are certainly better than others, but they all suck.
I do appreciate the effort of you trying to help. Although it also feels like fodder for r/wowthanksimcured

Well the thing is I don't think it's technically spam. Spam is something different.
I do think the polls are posted in good faith. There is just way too many of them. But I am also extremely forgiving too.
Then again, the specific user I'm thinking of could post polls on their own platform so you are probably right.

I never asked anyone else to pay for my sins. They are mine to atone for.
Aside from that, there are many Christians who ask for forgiveness and keep on sinning like it's a blank check to do whatever they want. That makes it the best religion for narcissists and grifters in my opinion. No wonder it's so popular!

Look up Pascal's Wager. What makes you think that you're believing in the right god?
Also, I try to be a good person and always do the right thing because that's what I want to do, not out of a fear of damnation or exile from some divine kingdom.
If God respects me enough to give me the option though, then why would he punish me for all eternity for not choosing what he wants? Especially when he could just tell me himself and not play bullshit games. In much of the Bible he never shuts up.
I think if God existed he would love atheists, because we're the only ones who actually take him seriously.

You sound like one of those people who say "I'm spiritual but not religious."
You're welcome to call it whatever you like, but if you believe in a higher power and that the Bible is the literal word of God then you're certainly not skeptical enough. If you're really wanting to get in the weeds look into the works of Richard Carrier and David Fitzgerald. Although I doubt much is gonna sway you if your mind is already made up, and I suppose the same could be said of me.
I much prefer actual science that is proven and verifiable through peer-reviewed double-blind studies.
It's been a fun conversation though. Best of luck on your path.

2026-03-20 04:42:08 UTC

See, that doesn't make sense because the Bible is religion and you can't really separate the two.
Now you might not belong to a congregation, but it's still a personal religion. You can try to separate the bad stuff from the good stuff, and the natural from the supernatural like Thomas Jefferson did. However too many still use that book (among other holy texts) to bend and twist things to their own will and mean whatever they want.
Is there some good advice in the Bible? Sure. But I don't think it's the end-all be-all book of ethics, morality, and law that Jews and Christians claim it is (although Jews claim only the first half, but still my point remains.)

Yeah, I knew I'd be in the minority here. But at least the government sources are willing to put their name to it. They're not also all completely horrible when it comes to things like science, but that can be peer reviewed and proven.

The only reason precious metals are actually valuable is because they can be used for other things, whereas gemstones have no real use beyond fashion that I can think of (maybe work for diamonds, but that's a different thing.)
In any case, the value of anything is really only what someone is willing to pay for it and what they think it's worth.
Also, if someone has a large amount of gold bullion, they probably have the guns and ammo to protect it too.
The only problem with it is it's heavy, which is why the dollar was created in the first place. But at least at that point it was backed by something.
