    Do you think it is possible

    We are a species who is inherently good, but very susceptive to being influenced by temptation and we live in a world filled with temptation and supernatural entities who diligently work to corrupt us. Human beings always act according to what we believe to be the "good" but being human also...

    You're assuming all of us had one around.

    Saying "You have to be happy by yourself first" is exactly like saying "Beatings will continue until morale improves."

    Please read post #12 again, more carefully this time.

    Saying "You have to be happy by yourself first" is exactly like saying "Beatings will continue until morale improves."

    Please reread post #12.

    Person A, B and C: "Listen, guys, please stop giving us these pieces of advice regarding this particular issue. We have analyzed them and put t hem to the test, and have found them unhelpful and even harmful. We understand that you mean well and see things differently from your perspective, but...

    Saying "You have to be happy by yourself first" is exactly like saying "Beatings will continue until morale improves."

    I mean, I really don't see how I could explain it better than through what has been said so far.

    Saying "You have to be happy by yourself first" is exactly like saying "Beatings will continue until morale improves."

    If your partner stops offering you the happiness that they did at the beginning, then something changed about them or/and yourself, and you need to explore through therapy what changed, so you can work on getting things back to how they were at the beginning. I absolutely disagree about the...

    Saying "You have to be happy by yourself first" is exactly like saying "Beatings will continue until morale improves."

    Speaking from personal experience, for me at least, this is absolutely false.

    Saying "You have to be happy by yourself first" is exactly like saying "Beatings will continue until morale improves."

    A response to those who say that a relationship will not fix you or your life, adapted from a Reddit post. While people are more than their ability to make you feel better, to say through implication a relationship won't radically improve your life if that's what's missing is daft. Whether it's...

    Is it LAWFUL to kill animals?

    I said no such thing. Either my experience in prayer is wrong or the book other people tell me was infallibly inspired by God is wrong. If my experience in prayer is wrong, then the very statements of the book are wrong because the book says "seek and you shall find". I sought and what I found...

    Is it LAWFUL to kill animals?

    That's not so simple. If the book I'm supposed to believe is the Word of God not only approves of, but also commands (in the Old Testament) what my experience with God indicates to be evil, I have a lot of reason for concern. Either the book is wrong or my experience is wrong. Considering that I...

    Is it LAWFUL to kill animals?

    Owning a car doesn't cause pain to another creature. Driving it might, but that's another topic altogether. Research has shown that plants don't experience pain and can regenerate. Fruits that are picked from trees have no nervous system to experience pain. Neither do potatoes. I'm not asking...

    Is it LAWFUL to kill animals?

    While I would prefer if people became vegetarians, I am not trying to convince any of you to do so. I am merely trying to make me understand if you have an innate feeling that it is wrong to kill animals for food (which some of you admitted that you do), and why you are dismissing this feeling...

    Questions that people should have asked Jesus (and that should have been recorded in the Bible)

    Please elaborate. Is the only argument "the Bible is right because the Bible says that it's right"? I studied the Bible, I applied its promises to my life, it failed to produce the promised results. What arguments can I use to dismiss my personal experience with the Bible in favor of other...

    Is it LAWFUL to kill animals?

    What Scripture says that Scripture lists everything that is right and is wrong? We usually use common sense to deduce that. Scripture says "do unto others as you would have them do unto you". Why can't that be applied to all beings that (to our knowledge) experience pain, such as animals? Cars...

    Is it LAWFUL to kill animals?

    Not if my moral compass tells me that it's wrong and this moral compass was acquired after I started seeking God. When I was living in sin and didn't care about religion, I didn't even think about the morality of eating meat. But now that I've started seeking God, it seems to me like it's...

    Is it LAWFUL to kill animals?

    None of those are necessary except for medical research. In present day society, humans can thrive on a plant-based diet, wear clothes made from materials manufactured from plants, and industrialization made farming the land easy without any animals.

    Questions that people should have asked Jesus (and that should have been recorded in the Bible)

    Can you make it makes sense? Why did they believe in a false Christ? How can we make sure that we believe in the right Christ? What are the unfalsifiable assessment tools of which Christ is the right one?

    Questions that people should have asked Jesus (and that should have been recorded in the Bible)

    If the goats believe in a false Christ, why do they call Jesus "Lord" in the parable?

    Is it LAWFUL to kill animals?

    You're... not addressing my points. You're giving me examples of things I find immoral from the Bible in an attempt to justify the things that I find immoral in the Bible. Please try again without appealing to Scripture this time. Appeal to reason. I can imagine a system in which the fall did...
