It appears you have a personal interest in servicing others.. Which sounds dirty. I have a feeling you may be a bit hypocritical saying this. Are you saying that all the time you are not sustaining your existence you are constantly in service to others? I'm almost certain that's not the case.

Sounds like the creepy personality traits of a couple of local christian church leaders in my town. I'm not even kidding.

I try to do the best I can, recognizing my selfish nature and doing what I can to crucify it.
I used to sit around and listen to music all day and thought I was better than everyone else because I knew more about music. Also computers. I used to sit around and learn things about computers and think I was better than everyone else because I learned things about computers.
Life is sort of silly. Nothing really matters except God and other people. Everything else must be at most a way to serve those other ends.
Christians will try and get you to follow them, but usually they will admit that they get you to follow them based on what they know. Liberals try and get you to follow them based on how wise they are to know about what they don't know.

Wow, Mr. God loves us all and I want to be little tiny God lover. You sure are full of shit... I mean love. Wow, teeny tiny little "littleness" dude. Just wow. You should pray to your spirit friend about this so he can scold you for being so mean. Oh wait... he won't because A)He'd be the first to throw us in, and B)He's as real as the tooth fairy.
You can be happy when I burn in hell later.

Not directed towards individuals, but toward the spirit of deliberate deceit, so you know how I feel. It's nothing personal.
When you lie to someone, you fix a thought that they may have for the rest of their life. They could take that thought and make a long series of bad decisions based on it. When you don't even care that the things you are saying are false, well, I am not supposed to talk about hell but I think that people get what they deserve. I won't cry about it.
I can see that you didn't make any effort to engage with the substance of what I wrote, jrsm.

Now you think you are better because of god? Once a narcissist always a narcissist I guess. I don't think the attitude you had is at all common. I know that everything I am good at their are lots of people much better than me.

You are right, I didn't. I don't see the point. You're so little.

No, now that I am a Christian I feel like I don't have any part of me that is left and my self respect comes exclusively from my union with God. I feel like I am a dead person. It feels good. It is not like being narcissistic. I feel like there is no self to pump up.
It feels good. Have you ever any books by Watchmen Nee? He talks about the breaking of the outward man, where through suffering and the inner working of the holy spirit the outward man is crushed so the spirit can be released. The release of the spirit is like when people hearts become dis-unified from their self and they start to think spiritually and their mind separates from their spirit. I would highly recommend the book, it is very challenging and I have hardly lived up to the principles.
I am an admirer of asceticism and wish I could be more deeply committed to it. I have visited monasteries and found the beauty and simplicity of life in the spirit, free from the arrogance of all the people fighting and shouting and all the selfish hearts full of emptiness and greed, just a desire to empty the self so it can be a vessel for the glory of God, that everything around be unified with the telos of man and the telos of nature, not the nature of capitalism and politics and war but the nature of the quietness of the soul directed to God with simple words, not complicated words, not aiming to prove anything just conveying the spirit, shedding the carnal, empty mind and breaking the chains off of it that bind it to worldly ideologies and ambitions of small men and opening the eyes to see the beauty and glory and splendor of a life in harmony and peace.
Have you ever been to a monastery before? I would recommend it.
