  The choice of being alone has never been clearer.

  something i've noticed is that marriage was the thing for those born before 2010. but today's culture of divorce laws slanted to favor women has forced men to think carefully before signing the marriage certificate.

  most of my friends have no intentions of getting married.

  all of them have gotten vasectomies, so there is no chance of being blamed for a pregnancy.

  Pistolpete:

  Marriage was the thing for those born before 2010.

  There’s just fewer and fewer 10-year-olds getting married these days.

  LOL!!

  God permits evil to exist, but God is not the author of evil.

  The intent of many of those who make claims like yours — that God is “wicked,”

  Man, the least you could do is READ THE BIBLE.

  God Himself tells you, RIGHT THERE IN YOUR OWN BIBLE—

  
  

  THAT HE CREATES EVIL

  BUT YOU DON’T WANT TO SEE IT!

  Isaiah 45:7 In several versions printed by Christians throughout history.
  

  KJ21

  I form the light, and create darkness; I make peace, and create evil; I, the Lord, do all these things.

  ASV

  I form the light, and create darkness; I make peace, and create evil; I am Jehovah, that doeth all these things.

  BRG

  I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things.

  CSB

  I form light and create darkness, I make success and create disaster; I am the Lord, who does all these things.

  DARBY

  forming the light and creating darkness, making peace and creating evil: I, Jehovah, do all these things.

  DRA

  I form the light, and create darkness, I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord that do all these things.

  ERV

  I made the light and the darkness. I bring peace, and I cause trouble. I, the Lord, do all these things.

  GNV

  I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things.

  JUB

  I form the light and create darkness; I make peace and create evil: I am the LORD that does all this.

  KJV

  I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things.

  AKJV

  I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things.

  LEB

  I form light and I create darkness; I make peace and I create evil; I am Yahweh; I do all these things.

  But, as with the account of Job, God chose not to give a reason for His actions.

  Perhaps it was because of Israel’s multiplied sins and rebellion against God throughout the centuries. Perhaps it was a lesson to the people (and to us as well) that the people suffer when their leaders go astray.

  The reality is that God didn’t justify his actions with a reason, nor does he have to.

  PERHAPS, PERHAPS, PERHAPS--------ARE ALL ASSUMPTIONS WITHOUT EVIDENCE.

  You stick up for a MURDERER OF THE INNOCENT---EVEN WITH ALL THE EVIDENCE FOUND IN THE BIBLE.

  so i see some very counter intuitive videos on how there is no over population issue.

  that the world will grow to about 11 billion and stop.

  well that would be the first time in human history that population just stopped.

  Its really insane how close we all are to going to the store and having little on the shelf. Covid should have woken people up but as we see in the monetary policy after the crash nothing was learned and we are now doing the same shit that caused the housing bubble in 08 to pop. My wife works in loan banking and she said she is seeing the same sketchy crap that was going on in the pre crash times. My broker said the traunches and other things that caused the bubble are back. People don't learn.

  I actually think about this a lot. I personally feel shit is going to hit the fan at some point. I remember when Covid first started and I went to the local Sam's 'Club, all the shelves were empty. I drove quickly to Walmart and all the shelves were empty. It took a couple of months before you saw a steak in the meat section and they were limited.

  I try stock up on can food, but even those have limited life. I could stock steaks by the hundreds in several freezers but what happens if electricity is shut down??? All the steaks go bad in a matter of days,

  We are living on a razor's edge, there is no doubt.

  That was a pretty good summary of human history and the relationships between men and women. It kind of saddens me though. We've had to learn through trial and error. And we're still not there.

  Maybe someday we'll figure out how to treat one another.

  For now it seems like a crap-shoot. Some hit the jackpot and find a good marriage mate and others find HELL.

  I don't think the majority of women are like you.

  I agree O Connor is a Vegan Extremist.

  But the factory Farms need to change Somehow. I don't have a solution but something needs to be done with the way animals are tortured. Surely humans have the capacity to figure out something.

  If he gave us all justice, we would all be condemned. He chooses to show mercy to some.

  Let's see how just and merciful your God is. Let's look at his WORKS as written in the Bible.

  And remember, these were Jehovah’s LOYAL FAITHFUL WORSHIPERS HE WAS DEALING WITH.

  Consider the three choices God forced upon David for taking a census. These three choices were forced on King David, Not for murdering people, not for raping women, not for lying, stealing, or any crime we can think of in our modern world that is repugnant, but simply for taking a census or in other words, counting people.

  For counting people, Jehovah forced a decision on David that involved the lives of thousands upon thousands of innocent people.

  The choices all dealt with the “Way” Jehovah would kill thousands of unsuspecting loyal worshipers.

  1 Chronicles 21

  “These are the choices the Lord has given you. You may choose three years of famine

  Imagine what that meant. Famine was going to be a three year project for Jehovah or YHWH. God would cause the crops to fail somehow. Either send a swarm of insects to damage the crops, or cause a disease to damage them.

  Then slowly the storehouses would start draining. People would start panicking. After about a year or so, many would start feeling the effects of what Jehovah was doing to them.

  Panic would finally rear its head on the face of the parents as they started seeing the hunger pains on the faces of their innocent children. Eventually when food started becoming really scarce, the children would start getting sick. Slowly but surely the lack of food would invite all kinds of sickness and maladies. The infants being the weakest would be the first to die a painful death as a result of famine. Next would be the elderly, and many would start seeing their parents and grandparents go through a horrifying painful death because of the lack of basic food supplies.

  Finally, the foundation of the family structure in the nation of Israel was in danger of being exterminated as Husbands started losing wives and wives started losing husbands, leaving thousands of widowed people feeling the pains of the famine all by themselves as they slowly starve to death. How horrific!

  The second choice was three months of destruction by the sword. God would send some army to invade the country and start slaughtering children, ripping pregnant women in their homes, killing all the fathers, raping all the young female children, and leaving thousands of children orphans. How wicked is this choice!

  The third choice was three days of some type of severe plague. It was going to be worse than any chemical or viral outbreak in human history. Worse than the Black death.

  Imagine these three choices forced on you. Imagine you having to choose which killing method would be imposed on thousands upon thousands of unsuspecting children, mothers, fathers, infants. All these people trying their best to do the right thing in raising a God-fearing family, and yet had no idea that the God they worshiped was about to murder them horrifically.

  You probably would have calculated the same way David did. Three days is better than three years of famine or three months of the sword. So David picks three days of a plague.

  David felt that it was better to fall into the hands of a merciful God. Did David not get it? This was not the character of a “Merciful God”

  In three days God slaughters 70,000 people. Around 972 people were dying every hour for the next 72 hours. Imagine if that happen in the area you live. That means that there wasn’t even enough time to figure out what the hell is going on. There wasn’t enough time to bury the dead or even mourn them. 972 people were dying every hour for 72 hours until the total came to 70,000 dead in just three days.

  King David tried to reason with Jehovah by explaining the situation in such simple terms that a five year old child would understand.

  Bible quote;

  And David said to Jehovah, “I am the one who called for the census! I am the one who has sinned and done wrong! But these people are as innocent as sheep—what have they done?

  It did not matter to Jehovah aka YHWH. He forced David to choose the method of killing all these unsuspecting people whose only crime was being part of the Theocratic Nation of Israel.

  This is wicked. This is worse than Demonic. This is the an example of a true Psychopath.

  The real question is; why would anyone want to worship this kind of God?

  Marriage is a trap for a man.

  It seems like it these days. One of my friend's brother didn't get married till 30. He had built a business, bought a home and paid it off BEFORE HIS MARRIAGE. Had one child, then she had an affair with someone at work. She filed for divorce, won the house, Got child support, and now the guy had to start all over again at 30 plus age.

  Had he stayed single, he wouldn't be in this mess.
