why do i have to wake up every morning to go to school?
why do i have to go to college?
why do i have to get a job?
why do i have to make a loan to buy a house?
why do i have to get married?
why do i have to have kids?

i know i need a job to make money in order to survive but why is that the only option?

i feel like i have no control what-so-ever of my life. and i know im going to get responses like "dont go to work and live on the streets then" people say that because it is true, i am destined to live a life i dont want, to live a life of school and work until im dead.

How do i get out of this cycle?

Dose anyone notice that the natural order of things is getting jacked up and we are allowing feeling good change and desecrate the very principles that gave us legs to stand on.
truth is no longer truth it's left up to what feels true to me.
a lie is not a lie, it's not even addressed, or ignored.
evil is not evil, its called an expression of free will.
WHAT IS THIS ?
WE ARE IN SERIOUS TROUBLE!
If we have nothing to stand for then we will fall for ANYTHING!

If you have not found the TRUTH about that which is in the "existance of existance" (thereby not limiting it only to the physical dimension but to all that exists if it exists with or without our knowledge), can you truely say you have peace?

Can you truly continue living life, knowing that what you believe is only enough to satisfy the conscience and/or the intellect but if you were honest with yourself you cannot be 100% convinced that you have found the truth, can you then say that you have peace? That is true genuine, unwaivering, inexplicable peace?

Hoping in reincarnation and a second chance at life surely doesn't give anyone any peace, there is a struggle within that already, so given that we live once, can you truly be at peace apart from the truth?

Living in ignorance again surely doesn't give peace, avoiding the truth doesn't change it's existance or status as being true so I doubt you can say you have peace by being ignorant of the truth.

Descartes was probably
the first to attain the degree of reflection demanded
by that fundamental truth; consequently, he made
that truth the starting-point of his philosophy, although
provisionally only in the form of sceptical
doubt. By his taking cogito ergo sum as the only thing
certain, and provisionally regarding the existence of
the world as problematical, the essential and only
correct starting-point, and at the same time the true
point of support, of all philosophy was really found.
This point, indeed, is essentially and of necessity the
subjective, our own consciousness. For this alone is
and remains that which is immediate; everything
else, be it what it may, is first mediated and conditioned
by consciousness, and therefore dependent
on it. It is thus rightly considered that the philosophy
of the moderns starts from Descartes as its
father. Not long afterwards, Berkeley went farther
along this path, and arrived at idealism proper; in
other words, at the knowledge that what is extended
in space, and hence the objective, material world in
general, exists as such simply and solely in our
representation, and that it is false and indeed absurd
to attribute to it, as such, an existence outside all
representation and independent of the knowing
subject, and so to assume a matter positively and
absolutely existing in itself. But this very correct
and deep insight really constitutes the whole of
Berkeley’s philosophy; in it he had exhausted

The Flood account in the Book of Genesis is also corroborated by the world's population statistics. Today, we're taught that humans evolved about 2 million years ago. Then why are there only 6 billion people in the world?

In the year 2000, the world's population topped 6 billion. In 1985, it passed 5 billion. In 1977, it topped 4 billion. In 1962, it passed 3 billion. In 1930, the world's population was approximately 2 billion. In 1800, it was approximately 1 billion.

Based on census DATA, scholars estimate the world's population was about 1/4 billion at the time of Christ (1 AD). The Flood was approximately 4,400 years ago, with 8 human survivors. If we follow the population growth curve, we see that the world's human population could have come from 4 couples 4,400 years ago. It seems the human population growth rate is about 2% per year.

Well, what about all of the wars, famines, plagues, etc? Take the Black Plague for example. It killed off 1/3 of Europe's entire population. Yet, in less than 100 years, the population bounced back and surpassed the original population. This is because the infrastructure was already established. The world's population took a dive during World War II, but immediately came back with the baby boomers. After a great loss, there is always a massive boom.

The bottom line is this: if humans have been around for 1 million years (half of the 2 million presupposed by evolutionists), according to the current growth rate, the world's human population should be 10^8600. That's a 10 with 8,600 zeros after it! Double that if you believe its 2 million years old. 16 million years, some think. Then we need 10^51600 zeros after it!

BEAR in mind: logic dictates the simplest answer is true.

DON’T give me wars and plagues….LOOK AT the difference.

We have 7,000,000

LOOK AT THE NUMBER


If the Bible is not true AND LOGIC dictates the simplest answer is true (except in this case of course,right?)…..
What happened??


WHERE are all the people??

If the Bible is not true AND LOGIC dictates the simplest answer is not true…..

basically there is determinism, which states that things are all caused and therefore, with enough info, everything is perfectly predictable...and then there is the free agent theory in libertarianism, that states that we are not simply a link in this causal chain, and our choices just causes, impulses based on experiences of youth, etc....but that we have the capacity, albeit a primitive one to be the 'first mover' (Isac Newton describes God as the 'first mover' as follows: Something in motion must have been moved by something else, and that by something else yet, until the first mover, which can be called God, implicitly using the laws of motion and the conservation of energy to prove God)..

so we have a primitive ability, through rationalization, to selectively respond and react to every challenge s et before us.

Actions of animals are pretty much determined because their neural prescepts..."emotions, impulses" control them,
we as humans, can over-ride them
