Ontological Disproof of God

[Losty]

emjay, you're a good guy.  No need to change.

Thanks, but it is a problem... always has been. Like when I was growing up, me and my family were, through our church, trying to help this homeless alcoholic get back on his feet... for years... but it brought a lot of strife and division to our family and at the end of the day, the guy didn't try to help himself, so he's still an alcoholic as far as I know. Basically there's got to be a line... where it's not worth helping someone if they're not willing to help themselves... but recognising that line has always been hard for me.

We had a friend like that. He recently died from alcohol poisoning. But even though he could never muster up the strength to help himself, I’m glad we gave him the help that we could and I don’t regret having him in our lives for the time we got to have him. The loss has been really hard on the kids but I think they’re better for having known him and lost him than they would have been never knowing him at all. He had a problem, a disease, and he couldn’t get himself out of it. Not even with all the support. But he was a good man.

Sorry for off topic rambling. It’s still hard to believe he’s gone.

ETA- oh right, I had a point lol. I think in most circumstances it’s worth it to try to help people whenever you can regardless of whether or not they deserve it.
