  • My precious dog, who doesn’t have much time left, and I spend my days dreading losing.

    She’s been with me since I nearly killed myself in college, pulled me out of depression, through graduation, the first date with my wife, our wedding, covid where I feuded with my family for 2 years and had almost nobody, and a move across the country.

    We’ve got 3-6 months left together, and I don’t know who I will be with her gone.

    We do not deserve dogs.

    This statement is an immediate bannable offense in many places, but the 2nd amendment allows for firearm ownership. Many states have stand your ground or home defense laws supporting lethal home defense. In America, our founding is justified by the need for violent resistance against tyrannical governments.

    I know these aren’t directly contradictory things, but it feels like doublespeak, the way the topics are viewed.










  • raped children don’t matter compared to my mental comfort

    The disgusting selfish ego of the religious is the part I can never empathize with or sympathize with.

    So, you admit God must change in the future to defeat Satan? You do not believe he is capable of defeating him as he is?

    So God is neither all powerful nor perfect.

    You do not worship the main texts of Christianity with those claims.

    Notice how you don’t actually want to discuss the topics or respond to the things I’ve said. You want to inject some fluffy talk to reinforce hiding your eyes from the discussion to pretend like you are participating.

    If I worshipped something as a God, I would be devout enough to discuss it with a person instead of just talking over their statements about it.

    Let’s revisit where my previous comment started

    God was incapable of defeating him when a child was being raped and a perfect being is not capable of change.

    The next child being raped will be watched by your God, too, as he will never be capable of defeating evil, as a perfect being will never change.

    You are happy to worship an imperfect powerless God who let’s children be raped because a book written by child rapists said things might get better one day.
