Third ☂ Text

Many of you seem to be unhappy.

We don't all necessarily want you to be happy, but acceptance and adaptation to your situation would be a start. The only question that remains is: how?

It is clear to us that your species resolves many issues through communication. Unfortunately, none of us understand the human psyche as clearly as others of your species, and so I leave it to you to communicate with and to help one another.

You may consider this post an open forum in which you can discuss what's been bothering you. In turn, I will conceal your identities, so that you may help one another without preconceived biases. If you'd like to reveal yourselves to one another, the option is there, but unnecessary.

Heal. Recover.

I'll leave you to it.

[anon]

[amos_moses]

there's at least two of us then

[anon]

[greywaren]

what brand?

[anon]

[amos_moses]

flavor of guilt an wine

Catholic

[anon]

[hotspurred]

I am Christian.

[anon]

[greywaren]

even here with these things claiming to be gods?

[anon]

[hotspurred]

Yes.

And yet.

After dying, it feels as though we are far from God's reach. What does all of this mean for our immortal souls?

I want and yet fear the answer.

[anon]

[circumitus]

what religion do you believe in?

[anon]

[greywaren]

been catholic all my life

seems kind of ridiculous to hold onto it after everything

[anon]

[circumitus]

why would it be ridiculous?

[Genuinely curious.]

[godofthemachine]

Ah, religion: the weapon of humanity. Keep clinging to your false beliefs. Won't it be fun to die and realize that there's nothing?

[anon]

[greywaren]

and here we have the edgy elitist athiest, thinking that his opinion is totally novel and something ive never heard before

[anon]

[godofthemachine]

Yes, simply ignore reason and continue believing in false hope.

I'm sure that won't be your undoing in the future.

I am relieved to know I am not alone- I am Catholic and have no intention of abandoning my faith here. Perhaps we can pray together sometime?

[anon]

[greywaren]

i

uh

im not sure if im group-praying material

[anon]

[souveraine]

The offer is there, nonetheless, if you change your mind.

[anon]

[knifecollecting]

the devil is real but god doesn't listen. what's the point?

[anon]

[greywaren]

yeah

there isnt a point. its a belief, not a sweater i can take off because it feels shitty

[anon]

[knifecollecting]

beliefs can change though. what's the point of believing it if you know there isn't a point?

[anon]

Religion destroyed my life. It's all just mob mentality and blind faith. [ woah, sharon, tell us how you really feel. ]

[anon]

[greywaren]

not the kind i know

sucks about your life though

[anon]

[unitas]

It must just be my world, then, that people follow the words of some old man's literature as something holy. But maybe there's a world where religion doesn't destroy the lives of children or brainwash them.

Maybe that's the kind of world you come from.

Generally speaking, any question that starts out with any variation on 'Am I the only one who...?' can be safely answered, 'No.' You probably aren't, though you might be the only one insecure enough to call it a security blanket.

Luckily for you, it's highly likely no one has noticed or would care. I mean that in the most reassuring way.

[anon]

[greywaren]
