I just tried typing a HUGE long rant about you and it got erased when I tried to copy it so if the posting screwed up, I'd still have the text... ironic? or maybe you meant for me to do that? I'm gonna type a new message, and it's nothing like the first one.

I don't believe you exist, but if you do, I need your help. I'm so down on myself about everything. I cannot find any peace or happiness. I'm always feeling lost, alone and inadequate. This is going to end up costing me the most important thing in the world if I can't find the strength to deal with this. I've given up looking within myself. The strength just isn't there. I need your help. I need you to carry me just like you did to that guy in the "Footprints" story.

The meaning of life is meaning.You strive to define it, and strive to have it define yourself.


There is nothing wrong with accepting the struggle. It is something entirely different to submit to it.

By the way, I flunked out of a major univeristy because of all this " I can't take it anymore" and "I am so depressed" sh!t.


Now I am doing really well @ a college because I simply realized how futile it is to have such high momentary expectations.

I must realize that this week was rough. I had two major tests and a paper due. But you know what, I feel like an fing king right now. WHy? Because I have "great Expectations," just as I did before, except this time around they are reasonable.


Stop being unreasonable. Life is hard.

By the way, I am probably different then you in my definition of god.


I have come to realize the extent of the menagerie of ideas that have coagulated into what most Christians see as god. I find it quite reasonable that a higher form of existence exists; however, I find it quite confounding that it, in its capacity, would rely of the groveling that I see around me. In addition, this ?think with your heart and not with your mind? form of thinking seems irrelevant in such a situation. Something so large anyways, would remain incomprehensible to me, and if not, would surely be able to communicate with me with the utmost clarity and understanding.

1. I am NOT perfect nor due I feel that I want to be. EVER.
2. I am not "evil" or bent on harm or destruction to anyone/thing.
3. I lOVE to use my mind and find it silly that Christianity limits me so. I was Christian, but now that I look back at what I was, I see a limited and sometimes dismal existence.

All the songs are the same, all the people say the same thing.

I thought about it for five minutes, then things started falling apart. Then I finally realized that My ?great Expectations? were not too great, just unrealistic. There is a line between dreams and aspirations. I aspire to be something, and many times that argument will not capitulate under stress and disappointment as a dream will.

The most likely way for the world to be destroyed, most experts agree, is by accident. That's where we come in; we're computer professionals. We cause accidents.

Dear Stefan,

We're all super busy up here in heaven but I wanted to get back to you because you're special. That footprints story never really happened, Falwell made it up so he could get a little scratch for the ponies off of people like you.

Jesus is here, he said grow a pair. Whatever your troubles are it can't compare to getting your ass nailed to a cross. I wish you could see him, he's tucking his manhood behind himself and doing an impression of you, I just laughed my milk right out of my nose. I'm going to damn him for that. (Haha, get it? God humor. It's tough being God because I'm not sure people laugh at my jokes because they're funny or because I'm the almighty creator.)

Anyways, Tupoc's on him way over, we're having poker with him and John Denver so I need to go get the party snacks ready.

God

(Edit: typo. See, even God makes mistakes.)

Give the guy a break. Tough love over the internet is no good.

Stefan, you'll make it through this. If you need to talk or something, drop me a PM.

Same here. perhaps my sessage was hidden, but I want to help to, by continuously saying "get over it. " it happens to all, And Darwin basically says that whomever gets over it gets somewhere.

Try sitting in a quiet, dark room and count your breaths as long as you can. When you notice that your attention has wander on to other thoughts start counting your breaths again.

I don't see what's helpful?

I would recommend finding a christian friend and talk to them. They will give you some good advice about your troubles. Keep praying, god will listen. However, times like these are often just to test your faith in him.

What? Christain? Why would he turn to them when he has thousands of others to work with?

Ra, Zues, Buddah...man, the list goes on forever. Whatever you do, DON'T pick the Christain god

Dear God, hope you got the letter, and...
I pray you can make it better down here.
I don't mean a big reduction in the price of beer
but all the people that you made in your image,
see them starving on their feet
'cause they don't get enough to eat from God,
I can't believe in you

Dear God, sorry to disturb you, but...
I feel that I should be heard loud and clear.
We all need a big reduction in amount of tears
and all the people that you made in your image,
see them fighting in the street
'cause they can't make opinions meet about God,
I can't believe in you

Did you make disease, and the diamond blue?
Did you make mankind after we made you? And the devil too!

Dear God, don't know if you noticed, but...
your name is on a lot of quotes in this book,
and us crazy humans wrote it, you should take a look,
and all the people that you made in your image
still believing that junk is true.
Well I know it ain't, and so do you, dear God,
I can't believe in
I don't believe in

I won't believe in heaven and hell.
No saints, no sinners, no devil as well.
No pearly gates, no thorny crown.
You're always letting us humans down.
The wars you bring, the babes you drown.
Those lost at sea and never found,
and it's the same the whole world 'round.
The hurt I see helps to compound
that Father, Son and Holy Ghost
is just somebody's unholy hoax,
and if you're up there you'd perceive
that my heart's here upon my sleeve.
If there's one thing I don't believe in

it's you...

Dear God.

btw, why not trying praying instead of posting this on AT? I'm pretty sure that here on ATOT, "God isn't one of us"
