Hey, who is in charge here? Can you put a navigation bar on the bottom of the page? Can you only keep alerts that I have not read in the bell thing at the top of the page?

Not my intention at all. When Paul went to Athens, he saw a lot of altars to different gods. Among them was one labeled To The Unknown God. He went on to say that whom they were ignorantly worshipping, he would declare to them. You can read about in Acts 17 beginning at verse 21.
It is this same God that you too are ignorantly worshipping. You see Him as a harsh ruler and indiscriminate deity. You seem Him as distant and uncaring over His creation. You are not alone in this. We all began our relationship with God in this way. But at the perfect time, He came to each one of us and made Himself known. He set His affections upon us and manifested His great love to us in bringing us to Himself.
Had this happened to you already, you could not speak of God as you do. Having sought after Him and finding Him, you would know that not only isn't He distant and uncaring, but that He is a very near and present help. But I also believe that it is no accident that you have joined the site and begun this thread. The unknown god is perhaps becoming the Known God Who has been with you all along. And this is my prayer for you: that God is pleased to make Himself known to you as He truly is. And in doing so that you may find life in Him.
Praying for you.

No God's soldier, no problem with that here. Tell your mom it's ok, there have been been 105 Billion humans on earth, that means a lot of impure thoughts.

You are so bitter, yet there are people with much less than you who are much happier. There are people to whom much more terrible things have happened, yet they are happier.

It looks like someone's happiness or bitterness does not depend at all on what has happened to him or what he has.

Hmmm... I wonder what it does depend on...

Why does god communicate through word play, synchronicity and poetic justice?

because He gave us the ability to understand thru those ways. diversity in this area is proper. any 1 of those ways fits in perfect with God's personal relationship with each human. & each 1 of those ways brings into order other aspects which give us understanding.

He doesn't always. I need explanations to be blunt and he's very blunt with me. "God if you're real give me a sign." Change the channel and it says "are you looking for a sign? I'm here to tell you that Jesus Christ is real!" 🤣 that's pretty clear.

But God speaks through metaphors a lot bc that's how we dream and we're more open to it. That's my personal opinion. Faith requires more than just being blunt.

" If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you."

Even if we are drawn to certain sin doesn't mean it was God's will. You have this wrong idea of God.

Yes the lord has made some to be for the sword but I don't think that's the case for you Planet. The fact that you conscience condemns you is a good sign it means the Lord has called you.

James 1:5 Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.

Actually, there is very little sin in my life. I'm sure you zealots could find something to pick apart.

"Bad friends, bad books and bad habits,” spoke the guide,
"dishonesty, disobedience, and above all, pride."
“are mainly responsible for so many eternally lost"

And that is what I expected to hear. Can I ask you a question? Why didn't your god just create robots to entertain himself? Why does your god find it prideful if you find joy and enthusiasm in a particular thing, especially when you worked real hard for it? That thing can be anything, why must you be devoid of the pride and joy that comes along with success?
