I always try to remember not to punch down. I got redpilled when I was really young (like middle school aged) and went through a period of being extremely cruel to people I disagreed with online. Maybe I've just become more sensitive since then, but in retrospect I regret acting that way. There's more to every story.
When I see accounts like Libs of TikTok I see a lot of internally broken people being harassed by someone who's basically a celebrity with tons of reach. We never see the full story. That "woke tranny" was probably harmed by someone they trusted as a child. The college girl crying about wages is probably miserable being forced into a masculine role she wasn't cut out for. The person getting vaxxed in 2023 might have health problems that cause them to live in unreasonable fear. It's true that personal responsibility is important, but at the end of the day we're all sinners. I'm sure there's something we did in the past that keeps us all up at night. I just hate seeing the spiteful, bullying attitude a lot of right-wing influencers have. At some point it just becomes a minstrel show of "look how healthy and normal I am" making people feel better about themselves at the expense of mentally ill zoomers. I pray for those people to have health and peace one day. I don't feel better about myself when I see messed up people on TikTok.
I mean, you don't even have to dig into someone's past to find a reason they are messed up. modern society alone can be enough to turn someone into a woke tranny. shit is traumatic out there.
I met one of these chest tattooed, blue hairdo type girls. Talked to her about god. She said there can’t be a god because no hood and just god would allow the things that happened to her to happen. People are hurting and there’s zero pathway to real healing.
We can lecture people after an traumatic event but that can seem condescending. This is emotional and psychological warfare. This must end. This is the most cruel war and must be the final.
They are literally attacking civilians through non physical means.
The (emotional) argument of evil is, I think, the most difficult of all to grapple with.
The (rational) argument of evil has answers, for sure, but one can’t answer an emotional issue with a rational answer. Just doesn’t work.
What I take comfort in is knowing that I believe in a God who came down to us and put on human flesh and suffered just like we do - and more. So we have a high priest that can relate to our sufferings while we go through them (Hebrews 4:15).
