Try God...

Followed by "People actually believe this shit?"
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

I just needed to vent about it a bit to someone since I really don't have anyone to talk to about it. If you do decide to ignore what you felt this time I'm hoping God will call on you again, if He does I'm always available to give you guidance.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
I don't even require total empirical proof, I'd just like to see proof beyond a reasonable doubt. But they don't have that much so they rely on faith.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
Whenever anyone asks you to try god what they are really saying is succumb to self-hypnosis. You can quietly meditate and achieve inner peace without having to insert fairies, angels, demons or gods into the equation.

Mental health issues fucking suck. Secondly, you need to make a formal complaint. A paramedic has absolutely no right to attempt to push his religion on patients. It was completely unprofessional of him and his employer needs to know. Especially given the nature of your illness. The last thing a psych patient needs is to have potentially dangerous delusions encouraged.
Disgusting the way some religious people pounce on you when you're at a low point, and then say that god brought this upon you just so you can become a member of their club. Like that's a good thing.
Good luck with your condition and try your best to stay strong. |
