  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I was sick from being alone for many years, about ten years ago, so I was in hospital for a short time. They gave me an apartment when I came out to ease the transfer back to society. This is now ten years ago like I said, what baffles me is that over these ten years renting normal apartments, is that there`s always druggies nearby. Druggies always instantly dislike me for some reason, and I dislike them sort of, but I`m surrended by them for ten years now for some reason.

They say God gives the strongest ones the most challenges, but it`s unworthy. Druggies should have their own building in my opinion. I got a place now just temperarly before moving to a bigger place and I thought I was safe for three weeks, but here they are again ...

The ganitor in the new place smelled of alcohol, but I thought it wouldn`t be a problem, but I`m not so sure anymore. All of my life will be ruined just to serve God? Most people in societies are godless people, why should I suffer for them?

There's a lot to unpack here, but I'd like to address two things.

1) Life circumstances doesn't fall into "God gives the strongest ones the most challenges". That's actually misapplied. Because that implies that God orchestrates bad instances in life like homelessness, money problems, etc for a myriad of reasons. Life circumstances are just that, life circumstances. The things God gives that would be challenges, have to do with ministry but that's vastly different than dealing with junk that life throws at you.

2) Are you purposefully there to serve God? Or do you mean, serve God where you're at? Because the two are different.

When we give our life to Christ, it's just that... HIS life and no longer ours. Paul talks about that you can't serve two masters. You either serve God or you serve yourself. Your life isn't "ruined" to serve God no matter where you are. Lean on the Lord, grow your faith and trust in Him. Walk with him, learn, grow, and see what God does with your life.

Do you have any religious leaders you can talk to for guidance? Because I think religious guidance would be monstrously beneficial to you.

If other people (druggies) don’t believe I exist, does that mean I don’t exist?

People abuse and malign themselves, others, and God’s creation. Most specifically, druggies abuse God’s creation to get high.

If people abuse and malign me or something I made, I don’t deserve to exist? If druggies abuse God’s creation and their human bodies, God doesn’t deserve to exist?

That seems like a cruel worldview. “Abusers deserve to erase the existence of people who don’t immediately fight back and punish them.” What? That excuses abusive behavior.

God does exist.
If you’d like to discuss this in a respectful manner I’d be more than happy to chat with you about it

Unless we are wealthy, rich, earn enough money for what we consider as the better things in life we are surrounded by those you call druggies, or alcoholics. Then even many of the wealthy, the rich, those with better things in life have problems with alcoholism and drugs they just hide it better.

There is only one human who walked the Earth that was sin free, suffered a horrific death, and was resurrected. He was and some like to say God incarnate. He walked around, ate with people who for that day and age would be viewed as the people you are speaking of.

If we all could live the way God would have us to live we wouldn't have any problems but we can't and we don't; therefore what we see is what we get.

Wishing you better
