>It's so strange that westerners are the only ones who see evil and deny God, or say that he is evil or a demiurge.
I'm a third-worlder faggot. I've never even been North of the Mediterranean.
>People in Gaza, Iraq, or Yemen suffer from devastating wars, their children are killed, their houses are destroyed, yet, no one says that God doesn't exist or that he is evil because of that
I've lived there over half my life, and I say that. Many do as well. Just a lot more cling to hope as it is their only salvation. And some others pervert this faith to justify their actions and lashing out against the injustice.
>The world isn't God and creation implies separation from the source of goodness and light
>The world isn't good or just, only God is
So then how did you conclude God is good again?

Again, watch Silence. It's an interesting look into suffering and faith.

Don't. Be human. Love, but also hate. Be grateful to those that showed you good, and resentful to those that showed you evil. Experience emotions, and bask in the good, but also learn from the bad. This is the only way you can become a better man, while also staying true to your humanity. It's all about balance.

>I still can't see any reason to hope for anything in this world.
Again, anon, what will you do? Will you live, or will you die? It's a simple yes or no, answer that and then you can move on to other questions with absolute conviction.

Stop being a defeatist cunt. You don't seem to want to save yourself from misery, but rather bask in it. Think about the above questions, then move.
If you see absolutely nothing of worth in living, and you are adamant about that conclusion, then you can kill yourself with absolute conviction. Just before you do that, at least try and do something you'd enjoy. Grab some drinks with a few friends and crack some jokes. Smoke a joint and put on your favourite album. Any small thing that brings you joy, and think about what you feel then.

What book do you read when you can no longer conceive of your own spiritual redemption?

I feel like this is a rare enough occurence to fit into a post. The author would really need to have fucked up.
