@Zingastar biblically, "by their works, ye shall know them"....you are exposed for who you are...trying to integrate and hide yourself among ordinary Americans, preaching through false unbiblical gates. I thank you for this post because you are now exposed. Take note, those of you here on Similar Worlds, this is a true infidel.

Well said and your point is well taken. When I worked in the IT department of our local juvenile justice center (for wayward minor children) I had the opportunity to work closely with judges of the family court as well as more than twenty+ caring and concerned probation officers. I witnessed violent, emotionally unbalanced, and desperate kids basically crying out for proper adult attention, affirmation and validation. I decided one day to just go ahead and ask what is the origin of these kid's problems.

Every probation officer I asked independently told me the exact same reason - "it starts with the parents." Investigating further each told me straight out that these parents were not ready to be parents themselves when they had kids. They were still emotionally immature themselves who left their abusive homes because they could no longer endure the regular beatings. This is a vicious cycle that ensures violence and psycho-social abuse continues from one generation to the next. Adding to a culture of abuse makes zero sense and is like physically abusing a loving pet then wondering why it turns around and bites you then eventually runs away.

Btw, ignore Leopold Bloom. He appears both unable to control his base emotions and exert selective verbalization of his primal thoughts emanating from his lizard brain. Much like the Leopold Bloom character in James Joyce's [i]Ulysses[/i] who ate inner organs of beasts and fowls with animalistic relish leaving his palate with "a fine tang of faintly scented urine." Perhaps he relates to this character whose wife Molly cheated on him. Anyway, blocked him for good reason - aggressive psycho.

@1354swrdt Don't argue with people who have no desire to communicate without using lies, half truths, aggression and/or ignorance. We can spend our time learning and growing with those who are peaceful and have a true desire to converse.

@fernie2 Sorry you went through that. My mom's father was a crazy and narcissistic psychopath, from the stories she told me.

@SubstantialKick It is amazing how one person can cause so much damage to so many people

Evidence that is all around you and in every cell of your body. Evidence that people like you blithely choose to ignore, instead gullibly swallowing idiocy from the internet. Where did the information come from for a start ? Blind and chaotic forces? Of course. Chaos always produces order according to idiots @redredred

@SubstantialKick Too often they have kids of their own and repeat the abuse

@1354swrdt We must realize that the Bible is an error-ridden (2500 errors of fact) piece of garbage edited at the behest of a pagan emperor and detailing a centuries long fascination with conquest, rape, murder and torture.

You must realise you understand nothing whatever and your information is that of a fanatic @redredred

@1354swrdt 🤔 a central committee... Quote from an old Russian woman I saw on TV as a kid "did you prefer communism or do you like it now?" Answer: "under communism I always had bread to eat. Now I am starving"

I take the old woman's words over the books financed by the rich and powerful.

Yes they all had the same - bread and terror. Would you have wanted to live under Stalin? @Forgetmeknot

@1354swrdt impossible to answer.

@SW-User
^Bingo^

Not at all. None so blind…@Belladonna

@1354swrdt Whatever. Go pray or something. 🙄

I do and get answers 😊@Belladonna

@1354swrdt

Yes i agree. My explanation is the entry point into becoming a Christian while yours is a description of what it means to be a Christian.

I think it depends what we mean by the words@Pikachu

@1354swrdt no doubt
