  • God's goal is not our perfect comfort, but our transformation. To say that 'God should stop evil from happening' neglects the entire truth of the Old Testament and Gospel.

    To become the beings He knows us to be come, we MUST struggle, because it is ONLY in struggle that we learn if we are compassionate or selfish, brave or cowardly.

    Struggle exists because we lacked faith, not because God enjoys seeing us suffer.

    A universe without struggle is a universe without growth, and that is not what He envisioned.

    So we struggle, and are mortal, and earn our bread by the sweat of our brow.

  • I made this mistake giving away my right wing forum slider detection tactics back in 2015-16, resulting in all the usual suspects changing their patterns within days and weeks.

    So I'm not giving away anything other than there is a detectable pattern, and with time people can even usually identify Which AI generated it too. They have a certain tenor that's recognizable over time.

    And your post reeks of it

    For what end? The usual, muddying forum discussion, wasting people's times, souring sentiment.

    It's really shocking how quickly it's spread here, I at least assumed we'd get a few years.

  • Sounds like you got a hyperactive inner monologue going on, and in this world I don't blame you.

    We defs can be our most vicious critic.

    Something to consider: Instead of 'I'm a bad person then I'm good, then bad', try reframing it as 'I am a person who has at times done good and bad', and then see if you are the kind of person who wants to do less bad.

    If that's the case, boom, there's already the push to self-improve, that's a worthiness that not everyone has.

    I know it doesn't work for everyone though I found meditation helped me deal with my own inner critic, and toned him down enough now that he's more of an annoying helper.

    Humans are complex, when we try and narrow them down to simple categories like 'good' and 'bad' some nuance is always lost. Some things you have felt were bad actions may have had good ripple effects you never expected, and the good you do can often come back to trouble you.

    Instead of judging your value by your past actions, recognize that you can change and judge yourself by all the steps you take from that point on, and make the sincere effort to become better at what you value.

    Never compare yourself to others, but always to how far you have grown from your past you.
