I'm in a very stressful mood and can't written or verbally get thoughts out good right now. I just want to say that I'm stressing over the political and social situations of this world right now and that in my younger age we are only a couple years off and I'll have to live the rest of my several decades of life under a totalitarian police state world. I want the end times of this earth to be postponed and I want those on the same main side as me to overcome and have the opportunity to re-conquer what was lost. I reject "turn the other cheek" it doesn't serve a purpose here, even though to most people it's arbitrarily "bad". I might be turning a little crazy now, but I just want the stress gone, how do I know if retreating or heading into a remote or rural area will even help or if the rest of it will even follow me there too?

I want to live in and have there be a society like there once was where functioning a life and traditional goals like getting married, having a family, etc. were a lot easier. Why can't I hope for something "between" here and what most Christians consider the after-death to be like?

I just watched Glenn Becks special on socialism yesterday and can't help but feel some of the same things you are feeling. Here is the thing, even if America somehow stopped all this from happening, if there is no provision for objective goodness in man's heart we change nothing.

What is even worse is that I don't feel safe talking about it anymore because society only loves to attack those closer to my side. And I'm neither that liberal *or* conservative either, I do feel like I relate to the right more, but even in secular terms I am more bothered by the left. But oh no, I'm a taboo person just because I lean more in that direction.

And I understand what I said that you might not like or agree hearing what I say about the Heaven stuff. I don't know if it bothers people here or not.

I can't wait for us to get ours down here. Why should we have to be patient and wait until it's all done and too late anyway? Sorry, I can't relate to the feverish joy in the traditional spiritual image of Christianity. Understand that I mean that and that doesn't mean I'm walking on ignorance.

Ok, so first get yourself saved in Christ Jesus. Then study and apply God's Word. At that point God can use you, in a powerful way, as an effective and positive agent for change in your society. How bout that? Go ahead, give it a try; and find yourself a good, successful Christian mentor who believes that God Almighty has chosen to work through his Saints to positively change society.

I want to physically or emotionally stand up to the people who harmed me and my family and neighbors individually or collectively with severe wicked intent. I want to relive what this world itself was no later than when my parents were growing up. I wish we can just want our own thing. I don't think it's selfish to desire or long for specific things. Something about the idea that our collective society can't be saved unless everyone is compelled to turn back to God's way is a slap in the face, especially if you look and see there are still some people who are strong believers anyway.

I do think about these topics a lot.
