I kept a journal and wrote in it every day for 2 weeks this September while on opioids, while reading a book about electromagnetism, and came to understand god during that time. This is very specifically relatable on every point other than the jazz. Weird

Pretty sure most authors that are canonized and otherwise popular didn't "make it" while they were alive, either. "Making it" is mostly about some cabal of art faggots in an important school that may or may not be influenced by the [American] government all deciding that a certain piece is worth caring about.

Listen to Mitch Hedberg. Write down one liners, his or yours. Then integrate them into a short story, even if the story is only a few sentences. Tell a story in three sentences, make the third funny and closing the narrative. Five sentences, fourth funny, fifth the closer. And so on. Once you learn how to do that, you can reverse-engineer that process in a larger story. Hypothetically.

I just wrote a complete short story a few minutes ago and I feel happy with it. If this thread is still alive I might transcribe it tomorrow if I have time.

>itt overeducated nerdy fags who read 500,000 pages of involuted thesaurus raping commie gobbledygook do the perfomative conditioning of pretending niggers aren't niggers
>despite knowing fully well that they know that you know that they know that you know that niggers are niggers
it would be funny if it wasn't so depressing

Evil, but not in the way you think. God being omnibenevolent could easily mean He allows people to be separated from Himself, without posing a problem to his omnibenevolence.

Either way, you could argue that separation from God isn't evil. The acts that cause this could be considered evil, but you'd be equivocating an "evil" that challenges God's omnibenevolence (as if it's a rival, opposing force) with something that's merely unnatural (separation from a communion with God).
