"Disclaimer: I'm not at all suicidal, and if any discourse herein convinces you suicide's a good option for you, you probably went wrong somewhere. "Community challenge! "Sorry if this reads like a paralysis question; it's relevant to how I might live out the faith to which I'm in the process of converting: Would suicide violate UPB so long as anyone in creation loved or depended upon the person committing it? I should think that would definitely constitute forcing a win/lose situation. What if we're given that, and also, literally no other party would be immediately affected? The suicide would, I guess, "only" be depriving the world of some potential utility they could provide. There are people like this today (from a secular perspective). Is it just then kind of a lame and ugly thing to do (i.e, not aesthetically preferable) and far from being really wrong?" "How can a smart writer write dumb characters? Can a professional gifted painter paint something similar to what a 5-year-old would paint or similar to an inexperienced adult's painting? Can Freddy sing badly? Can Gilmour play guitar like he never held one in his hands before?" "Funding your enemies: "I pay for a YouTube Premium subscription. The main benefit is no ads, which saves time. And YT also has the widest range of video content on a range of subjects. "However - I also view YT as a corrupt organization that has censored and defamed good people including the one and only Stefan Molyneux "Am I not supporting my enemy? "I could cancel my premium subscription, but then end up paying with my time by watching ads (and driving CPM ad revenue for YT at the same time). "More broadly, how should I think about 'funding my enemies'? When (if ever) is this moral or just?

"Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints."

5870 Why is My Heart so Cold? Freedomain Call In 2:01:09

2:01:09

"Hi Stef "I am a struggling mom of 2. My oldest just turned 2 last weekend, and the youngest is now 4 months old. Ever since i gave birth, things have been chaotic. Having 2 kids so young means they both need me all day long (and also all night long, for the little one). I have help (a nanny), but that just shaves the peak of stress. She plays with the older one when i am preoccupied with the younger or cooking or laundry etc. I am on all day, talking or playing with the older, taking care of the household or the baby, and don't get rest at night either. My fiancé (we are getting married Friday, he is the father of the 2 kids) and me are fighting all the time. I don't know how to stop the fighting, since i am just exhausted and desperately need a break. "My current state also impacts my parenting. I am much less patient with the kids. And i still need to protect the younger one from the older one. When the older one is frustrated, he hits the younger one, or lies on top of him, or bites him. And i always need to be on guard. If i fail, then the baby cries and i tell the older one off and tell him to apologize. He doesn't comply. And when that's the case, i pick up the crying baby and walk out of the room. And then the toddler follows me, desperately crying out my name. It is a lot. But i really don't know how else to react when he mistreats the young one. I of course try to prevent it all day, but it does happen about once a day or once every other day that the toddler makes the baby cry. "Please share your advice with an exhausted momma that is desperately trying to do her best."

5867 Let He Who is Without Sin... Bible Verses 40:44

Jesus went unto the mount of Olives. And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them. And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou? This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not. So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground. And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
