n-no... don't bully me! Wife's boyfriend?? what are you implying? And who's that guy with the big mouth? Aren't books cool? I would never read them if they weren't, my world is shattering..

Life is not worth living. How do you Christians on here manage to convince yourselves that it is not only worth living, but that there is a heaven waiting for you at the end? I am honestly jealous. Every person you care about will die one day, and you will have to witness some of them go through it. I think about my parents dying quite often, and I do not wish to experience such a thing. I wish I had the courage to end my life, just so I could avoid such torture. I find it very hard to believe in an afterlife. Your consciousness will perish for eternity, as will mine. It is simply not fair, because not one of us had a say in any of this. If I was told that my family, friends, and /lit/ bros would get eternal life (or at least be able to return to consciousness here and there throughout time) if I killed myself and I alone died forever, I would do it in a heartbeat. Hell, I would do it for one person I cared about. The worst part is that nobody escapes the void, and I can never come to terms with this. I just cannot. This world is one giant scam, where you invest time and effort only to get brutally trolled in the end. The more you read, the more you realize just how badly people need to cope with this elementary fact. There is no way around this truth unless a personal God exists, and I doubt he does. If anyone has some book recommendations besides The Bible, Meditations, or any other popular ones I have most likely read, please do recommend them. I am sick of pacing around the house every single night.

How can God be eternal? Who created Him? If nothing did, then how does He exist? What is the nothingness besides God that some gnostics speak of? Why is God? How can a soul be eternal if it was created at some point in time? How can there be evil in the world if God is omnipotent? What is eternity? I try to understand religious literature but it just makes my brainlet brain hurt.

Sort of. I could pay an escort just for sex but I don't want that. I want a loving gf. Obviously sex is a big part of it, but sex alone is not the answer, even a hookup wouldn't be. I need a gf.
