A series of traumatic events has brought me to the brink and i need help. I suspect i may be suffering from PTSD. In spring 2019 i went on a medication for bipolar disorder. I had a freak reaction and went into the most intense and severe manic episode ive ever experienced. I had a complete...

Thank you, this was fantastic!

Excellent way to look at it. Perhaps my focus is too much on the traditions and philosophies of men and not on the word of God.

Wow, some great replies here. I just want to say thank you, everyone. I will try what has been suggested.

Simply put, I hate the political right. I absolutely despise them. I view them as barriers to societal progress, whose policies are immensely harmful. When speaking to them, I am filled with spite and vitriol, and I am absolutely vicious. I don't associate with them at all in my personal life...

Thanks everyone. I really am happy doing what I'm doing. Public service is my calling.

So this really hit me recently. I was checking out a few places to live over the past few days, meeting potential roommates, etc. And I have this feeling of inadequacy. Some background: I have, since my early teen years, struggled with mental health and behavioral issues, namely bipolar...

Wow. I am absolutely floored by these responses. Thank you all for taking the time to help me. God bless all of you.

All of the costs associated with policy positions have been carefully weighed and have been found to be profitable in the long term. In 40 years, Trump's treatment of migrant families will be viewed as an atrocity, much the same way FDR's internment of Japanese-Americans is viewed that way...

Point taken. Well said.

Social progress moves constantly forward. Social conservatism is an ever receding ideology; it slowly gives up ground as the years pass by. For example, social conservatives were pro-segregation before the Civil Rights Act, but have since given up that ground. They were also against Don't Ask...

I don't support Nike because they pay Indonesian workers less than a dollar a day to make their shoes, and house them in obscenely filthy and dismal conditions no human being should ever live in. As a Christian, I cannot support that. American prisoners live better than Nike's overseas employees.

No Christian should be proud of racism, slavery, conquest, and genocide. We can do better.

It would be a lot easier to have this conversation if you knew anything at all about communism and anarchism. Your knowledge seems to be limited to webster definitions and Fox News.
