Sounds like Trump is getting desperate for support by amping up hateful language.

Lol you realize that in this video NBC's own polls are showing that nationally they are tied, and that on a state-by-state basis that Trump is slated to win right? That's pretty revealing too when you consider that NBC is an outright arm of the democrat party. Love the clips that they curated with Trump talking about saving America by removing the foreign invaders and helping the American citizen too, lol what a backfire for the democrats who take the side of foreign invaders to the detriment of the America people.

Trump a couple miles from my house tonight. A buddy got close enough for this pic:

Ever since he said in the debate that he was going to lock up the mentally ill in mental institutions. He lost my vote and I did not vote for him. I didn’t vote for koala Harris either.

Anyway, in my viewpoint, it's all a game. Like a play or movie being acted out. The powers that be already know who is going to win. And we are all the fools that are supposed to pick a side and go vote like it's all legit.

God’s in control of everything is what I’ve come to the conclusion of all this. I mean if he literally speaks to me through pray.com podcasts and my church’s sermons, literally telling me stories about heroes in the Bible, that reflect exactly what I’m going through that day, then there is no way we have control of any of this. He is just nudging all of us toward His purpose for all of us. It might be painful, and we may suffer but as Christians, we are so privileged compared to those who don’t have Christ because our lives are predestined, carried in the hands of God.

I heard someone say this today: Christians are just hardware with daily software updates, while others are like an operating system behind.

I literally am a fool, a sheep, someone just being led. I use to follow politics and the news but it just made me stress more and not trust anything, filling me up with fear. Once I stopped idolizing trump like tons of people do, I felt freer and closer to God.

I was just watching a Denzel Washington movie and I really liked something he said, "There are two kinds of pain in this world. Pain that hurts. Pain that alters."

There is certainly a lot of pain we suffer. For those of us who trust in the Lord through our pain, I think that makes us grow, it tries us with fire...it alters us. If we continue to draw close to him, we are altered for the better.

I have noticed a big difference ever since I started seriously reading, if not the Bible, just any Christian material every day for the last two years. Yeah, it’s been the roughest two years but the more I press in, the more it changes my heart, the less I’m affected by others who may not have my best interest in mind, the quicker I’m able to forgive people, the more I realize that once you are born again, your life is taken care of. God provides even when you have nothing and he provides even when you have everything. Sometimes there are moments of extreme poverty, sometimes there are moments of extreme abundance but like Paul says, the spirit was able to bring him through such things. We got it so good cause people like Paul were in prison, while maybe even though I’m not in a prison, I get to live his story by being a prisoner of my room in this season, or when David went into hiding from Saul, or the 30 years before Jesus’ public ministry. God was just getting them ready. The world will say things to try get you out of your cocoon but once your a butterfly, you’re a freaking butterfly!

I agree, there really is a big and noticeable difference in your life when you dive into God's word and consistently stick with it. I read scriptures every morning. I know that my morning scripture reading and prayer is the most important part of my day. Then I read and watch Christian material most days of the week. I mostly read Creationist material, learning about creation fills my heart with an abundance of wonder and amazement at what God created. That's always been a fascination for me.
Sometimes we get to those lowest points of life and sometimes we are all alone in those times, I think this is some of the most important times of our life. In those times we learn to fully and completely trust the Lord, to have no doubt He is with us in our darkest hour and our darkest season. I've no doubt in times likes those if I didn't have the Lord, I wouldn't be here typing right now.

Trust me, it was only a few months ago that I was having suicidal thoughts daily. Fortunately we have the suicide hotline and I have a therapist that I can talk to anytime. Both sources ended up having me use my coping mechanisms to deal with it. Which are listening to worship music, reading the Bible or listening to pray.com. I’m in a season where that is all I can do to combat my mind. I have surrendered completely. My family sees me, and they think everything is normal, as if they are non playable characters in a video game. I find it strange how they have no concern. My room is the living room, so they see me every day but as long as I’m pursuing God, no one questions me. No one is telling me that I have to move out anymore. Just as long as I’m pursuing God all day long everything is fine. Sometimes I think that if it wasn’t for the Holy Spirit in me, this family would be a mess.

Bless your heart. Here I am without anyone to see me everyday or know what I'm doing or disagree with what I'm doing or even care what I'm doing. For some, that would be hell and terribly lonely. I grew up an only child, so I guess I doesn't bother me. I've been a fairly solitary person for most of my life. My heart goes out to you though, I'd probably go mad if my solitude was disrupted in such a manner. I know there are people who couldn't stand my solitary existence though. To me, it's peaceful. Sorta...the newer nearby neighbors are a pain lol.
Do you like solitude (if you were able to have it) or do you prefer being around people?

I'm what used to be called a Young Earth Creationist, now they prefer to call it Biblical Creationist.
There are different kinds of creationists and I don't want to step on your toes, but if Biblical Creation is of interest to you I'll hook you up :p

I prefer solitude. I was begging my brother if we can trade rooms but he said no. The living room is like double his room but you get no privacy. It’s connected to the kitchen, the back door and the hallway. Up until yesterday, my brothers desk was in my room. Fortunately he just moved his desk into his room, so no more days and nights of him being in my room. So now I get a little more privacy but my mother is up at all hours and she’ll come into the kitchen late at night or pass through the living room to go out the back door. For a while I felt like the lack of privacy was messing with my mind. It was so nice when my brother and I shared a room, even though it was really compact. I’d be able to have solitary time with God, which now a days I only get that around this time.

Of course! I’m about biblical EVERYTHING! I want to get it so engrained that if I get Alzheimer’s or dementia at an old age that I want to at least remember Jesus.
