Though I like your enthusiasm, I do not think censorship is the answer. I do however think that if anyone is being payed to include such propaganda, this should be transparent.

You know how Major League Sports events are payed to promote patriotism. There should be a disclaimer or at least an independent media organization should report when this happens, so that the public remains informed that they are being manipulated.

But, a book burning will only make people crave these things all the more. Like how I watched the beheading of Nick Berg after our government banned the video (I was able to find it online and I do regret watching it, but would not have sought it out has it not been banned). And how my main personal reading list in High School was all the books that were banned when my Mom was in High School.

Maybe it is my concupiscence, but when those in authority tell me I can’t see something, I interpret this as, I now need to see this. I parent my children by saying that I would prefer them not watch certain things or that it would not be very wise for them to do, but I try not to tell them that they can’t watch or do something.

Well regardless, we need to purge this from the system. It’s pointless, it’s propoganda, and the world is better off without it. It poisons the minds of the youth and it ruins people. They’re trying to snuff out the Divine Feminine with trans men, men who can get pregnant. These people are sick, and they need to go back to their home planet, because Earth has always been a binary, man and woman.

I just wish this sh*t never existed, cause my life has been ruined because of that b.s. I don’t wish this life on anyone, especially children.

I know…you and I both know Peter that I don’t identify as Jake (or Jacob). This body, this character I play is temporary in this 3D plane of existence.

But, this is something I do struggle with, which is, homosexual tendencies. Yes, the world is a stage, but I also don’t feel like it’s a good thing to just do whatever you want either. We are down here to learn and to graduate, and not be stuck down here LOL! I just hope that I do graduate, I’m so tired of being here. I mean, sh*t, give us some incentive for being down here. Make pizza free or something LOL!

There are days when I just want out of this fake Sims game. Knowing that life here is some dream (or in my case, a nightmare) and the only time we escape the dream (or nightmare) is when we go to sleep. I’m always excited when I go to sleep, cause I have the best dreams. Yes, dreams are weird and usually make no coherent sense, but it’s better than waking up in this sh*thole. I’m just pissed off that in the womb I was messed with and have this disordered attraction towards men. That or my Dad is just a really bad father (which is possible seeing as though he thought it was a smart idea to hit me when I was 25 years old and I was on medication for a mental disorder).

I just want out of here. There’s nothing for me here. I don’t have a gf, or a kid. My family may as well be non-existent. And, I’m alone. If I wanted to I could indirectly end my life, I know how to do it. No one would ever know that it was me who took my life. All I would have to do is manifest it, so like it could be a car crash, or someone just shoots me. But, God would know that I took my life, and I’m NOT coming back here. I know I volunteered to be here, and I honestly regret my decision. I hope I never have to come back here ever again. This is hell….being here is absolute hell, and all I do is search for the exit LOL.

That’s it…….we are all “earth students”. And you are in the most fortunate position……..simply because you are understanding how painful life is in the material world. Those who come into this world, to be born in a palace as a prince, or the son of a billionaire, or the body that is destined to an olympic athlete, or a movie star that is worshipped by thousands of people, or to be recognized as the most handsome or the most beautiful…….these people rarely become serious about spiritual life. Because they are intoxicated with their material success. And they are blind to the fact, that all of it can come to an end at any moment. The wealthiest man on the planet can’t take a penny with him when he has to leave this body behind. Also everyone here, in this world, will grow old, diseased and die.
This life is meant for spiritual cultivation. So that we don’t have to come back here and do it again. And the only ticket out of here is if we have love of God in our hearts. Being a “good” person is not enough. Jesus says “Not by good works alone…..”. No God wants our love, and this is the commandment of Jesus. I speak like this because we are having this discussion on Catholic Talk. Therefore I am expressing the truth of all religions in words that Catholics can relate to. Jesus says that of all the rules by which God wants us to live, the highest rule is to love God with all of our heart and all of our strength. Love is more than being a good person. Love is a personal feeling about the person we love. And this is what God wants from us. He wants us to love Him. Then He accepts us into His kingdom. This is the ticket, the entrance fee.

When God likes someone, He may give them what they want in this world. But if He really likes someone, He takes everything away from them…..so that they will turn to Him as their only shelter, as their only source of satisfaction, as their only happiness.
Worldly satisfaction is short-lived. All of the saints are spritual practitioners who have turned their backs on the so-called worldly pleasures. They are not ascetics. They have spiritual pleasure in their hearts , pleasure that causes them to consider the things of this world to be insignificant.

Therefore you have a head-start. I am in a similar boat. I have always been like a square peg in a round hole in this world. And it caused me to search for something that I could hold on to, something that could fulfill my heart. And that led me to religion. A person like you……you are like me…….we have no choice……because we can’t find it in the things of this world. Therefore this is God’s kindness, this is God’s love. We are very fortunate. Now let us make the best use of our good fortune, by openiong our hearts to God, and asking Him to be our Father, our Mother, our best Friend, our wealth, our everything. Then our lives can be the most successful. Instead of seeing this world as a horrible place, we can begin to see this world as an institution for our reclamation. And as we grow spiritually, we will only have loving compassion on the people of this world, because all of their hopes, all of their dreams, all of their endeavors for family, society, friendship and love will be taken from them by the relentless passing of time. And if they are not prepared, they will only die with empty hearts.
Thank you for being honest enough to express you pain. This takes courage. I respect you for that. Ask God how you can come closer to Him….. and as as you do…..you will begin to feel yourself to be the most fortunate, the most wealthy person in the world. You won’t want anything more. You won’t even want to leave this place. You will only pray, “Please God, I am not asking You for anything. You can keep me here in this world, or You can place me wherever You like. All I am asking You for is to be able to feel Your presence in my heart, and to feel Your love.” I believe in my heart that this is only thing to shoot for. I am working on this in my own small way. Let us give each other strength.

Hi Cade! That’s the way God relates to us. He tells us that He prefers that we don’t watch certain things, and don’t do certain things, that it wouldn’t be wise for us ………but He doesn’t tell us that we can’t. Then He gives us freedom to choose.
