I am bipolar as well. Medicate with Hash oil. Just wondering, why do you think god would give you infirmaries just to take them away? Also, if you are created in his image, aren't you perfect in your bipolarness, and taking meds to change that is altering gods will or plan or whatever?

Excellent question. I never asked God to take away my bipolar. I accept being as I am. As a believer in the Bible, I believe God made the world and humanity perfect in the beginning, but that an enemy perverted it and it is no longer perfect. That's why we now suffer sickness and death, which God never intended. Medication enables me to function fairly well in spite of my bipolar, just as insulin aids a diabetic. Our first parents were created in His image, but because they turned away from Him and lost their right to the Tree of Life, which would have granted immortality, humanity has become less healthy with each succeeding generation. God did not give me bipolar disorder. The human race has been declining for millennia. He in His mercy has opened up knowledge to modern medicine in the form of pharmaceuticals and other treatments, which helps counteract this decline. IMO.

I feel like logically, there isn't afterlife. However that breaks my heart that I will never be able to see the loved ones I have lost again, so I like to believe there is. And I talk to the ones I have lost every night, And sometimes I ask them to visit me the next day. And they do. Everytime. And whenever it happens I've totally forgotten what I asked the night before. However logically I feel like that's probably my self conscious allowing me to create the illusion that they are there to help me grieve.

there’s no reason to default to “god did it”

Not my default setting. My comment was just my hangup on the theory, nothing more.

It's from a Bones episode. The night guard Micah says that to Bones since he knows it bothers her

My mind cant wrap around a GOD.. you know.. Like god is just as likely to exist as aliens.

Well, alien life probably exists somewhere, but probably not close enough for us to find, or in the ways that we imagine
just statistically, with an infinite amount of planets, there have to be SOMe that are capable of supporting life, and that would be considered 'alien'

Well, according to a christian family member, animals don't have an afterlife anyways

im not cathloics only they believe that. n my christans family I believe they do have an after life. I even connected with praying with my lost chicken latte she was something very special not like any chicken you have met kinda like a dog but more powerful like she knows when im upset to cheer me up. But after her death I prayed and I connected with her. I will always have her memorys when I go to her grave.

Well I think aliens do exist, maybe not in our galaxy, and probably not little green men flying around in pie pans, but if there is a planet in our galaxy (Earth) full of life, I see no reason to believe there isn't life in other galaxies.

Yeah, I know. It was just something that I thought off the top of my head. The thought that it could exist but there is no proof. Same concept.
