Good post nurse. I agree. GOD IS not always going to fix your pain but he will join you in your suffering. He may not kill your enemy but he will jump in the fox hole with youu.
Exactly. God won't actually do anything to help OP.

Saying god as a response to someone as far as a solution to problems goes is useless and it would be more productive to not post.
Like I don't mean to shite on your beliefs or anything, but it's best kept to yourself and a there are a lot of people out there that take offense to it. It's not something that is tangible or useful.

I don't think that's true for someone who does believe but needs to get through a valley in their life. I also don't think blanket statements thrown out there serve as much good as being a friend to someone does and taking a little interest. I've been through valleys and been on top of mountains in my life, and I can tell you that you see quite clearly on top of the mountain, but when you're in the valley it's not so easy to make sense or have clarity to see beyond to the next mountain.

Just do something. I hope this makes sense, but I didn't face near the challenges that the OP has faced when I hit my (much smaller) "wall", but I realized I just needed something to be interested in. I started with archery, borrowed a bow from a friend, and started spending the evenings shooting in the back yard. Changed everything about my perspective. I found other hobbies after that, but after that first one, I realized I had lost the ability to enjoy simple activities like the above.

I'm mostly talking about how it's not appropriate to say when you don't know someone's beliefs or even if they are a believer a lot of times they don't want to hear the god angle.
It's like at my dad's funeral, I wasn't even in a bad mental state but people came up to me and said god did this for a reason. Like I wanted to hear that. That put me in a foul mood for awhile when I was otherwise at peace with the situation.
If I want it, I will ask for it.

I don't know what women think they are selling. Spending $400 a month to get sex, where I can achieve the same result with 10 minutes and the internet, without the bitching or hearing her stupid problems. I can use that $400 bucks a month to travel or get a new vehicle. Dating is a pretty terrible return on investment
$400 A MONTH on dating is too much for you?
Its probably good that you have given up on dating! Posted on 6/2/14 at 11:17 pm to lsu480

The funny thing about dating is that it has pretty much become a status symbol, at least in this country.
I haven't dated in 3 years and I don't miss it. My wallet thanks me too.

WTF are you even talking about? Having love and companionship is a status symbol? I mean it might be but its something EVERYONE needs. I feel bad for you.

It's just recognizing that you can't always fix everything on your own. That when you face tough times you need to rely on your faith to help you through it. It means handing over the reigns to that problem to God and let Him be in control of it instead of you thinking you can fix it all on your own
2014 and ppl still think this way? my *lord*...

Im not a Christian but I have seen that way of thinking help A LOT of people I love. If you can believe in God and totally accept him it IS good for you IMO.

I don't know. Maybe for you?
I have always had an incredibly solid family life and haven't felt the need to have a girlfriend to feel love and a sense of belonging.
To each their own

I wasn't the one that posted it. Only times I've ever told that to someone was when I knew their beliefs and knew them well and knew their struggles. Just a way, as a believer, of offering support to another believer.

not saying i can't afford it, just saying its not even close to worth it. $400 is when you are avoiding them half the time. Buying some woman you don't even like dinner and drinks just to get your dick wet seems really stupid to me these days. Then you have to smile and pretend to be interested in their interests and problems
Its really more of a waste of time than money.

If you can't accept Nurse's kumbaya version of Christianity, you'd hate to hear my perspective.

Luke, I'm in my 50s. I work hard. Lots of hours, but the key is.... I work those hours when I want to. I rest when I need to. I will travel for seven weeks straight, but then I'm taking a month of not traveling to regenerate. I am the most successful sales engineer in my company, always on top. Always leading the charge. But I learned how to work smart. You will, too. Hang in there!
